- Turkey has been transitioning to an e-invoicing system since 2012, starting with alcohol, tobacco, and oil companies.
- The threshold for companies required to issue electronic invoices has gradually lowered based on turnover, with the latest threshold being 5 million Turkish lira as of July 1, 2020.
- The e-invoicing system also covers other electronic documents such as self-employment receipts and insurance policies.
- The Turkish government aims to prevent tax fraud by requiring businesses to switch to electronic reporting. Companies with a gross revenue of over 5 million Turkish lira in 2018 and 2019 were required to transition to e-invoicing starting from July 1, 2020.
- Some businesses are required to issue electronic invoices regardless of revenue, such as fruit and vegetable middlemen traders and online marketplaces.
- The government’s goal is to expand the e-invoicing mandate to cover all or nearly all transactions in the future.
- E-arşiv invoices are used for transactions where the invoice recipient is not registered at the Turkish Revenue Administration portal and became obligatory for some companies in January 2020.
- The Turkish government is committed to minimizing the VAT gap and requires companies doing business in Turkey to meet a growing number of reporting requirements and adapt to e-invoicing rules.
