Turkey Clarifies 1% VAT Rate for Food Products Not Applicable for Food and Beverage Service Providers

Turkey’s Revenue Administration has released Amendments to the Value Added Tax General Application Communiqué No. 51, clarifying that there is no increase in VAT rates. The amendments specify that the 1% VAT rate for certain food products does not apply to food and beverage services provided by businesses such as restaurants, cafes, and patisseries, which are subject to a 10% VAT rate. This clarification aims to prevent incorrect practices and abuses where businesses have been incorrectly issuing invoices/receipts at a 1% VAT rate for food and beverage services.
