- Turkey’s e-invoicing system is mandatory for most businesses, covering B2B, B2G, and many B2C transactions, with near-universal adoption expected by 2026.
- Sector-specific rules and thresholds apply, with lower limits for high-risk sectors like e-commerce, fuel, and real estate.
- Two main invoice types: e-Fatura (B2B/B2G, real-time clearance) and e-Arşiv (mainly B2C, next-day reporting), both requiring QR codes since 2023.
- Strict compliance is enforced with significant penalties for non-compliance, affecting both issuers and buyers.
- The system is fully digital, integrated with the tax authority (GİB), and includes digitalized ledgers, delivery notes, and receipts, but VAT returns must still be filed manually.
