GİB Updates Export e-Invoice Framework and Customs Procedures Manual

• Turkey’s Revenue Administration (GİB) published and updated the e-Fatura Customs Procedures Manual (“Gümrük İşlemleri Kılavuzu”), issuing successive versions (v1.4 through v1.6). The manual governs how export, passenger-accompanied (tax-free), and MYS e-invoices are generated and transmitted under the Ministry of Trade’s tax number within the centralized e-Fatura system.

• GİB confirmed that e-Fatura is mandatory for all import and export transactions regardless of turnover, integrated with customs declarations. The portal for issuing export e-invoices went live in production, a test environment was opened so taxpayers can observe how export e-invoices operate, and multiple announcements clarified passenger-accompanied baggage export invoicing.

• Alongside, GİB refreshed FAQs for export and tax-free baggage e-invoices and for the e-Fatura/e-Defter/e-Bilet applications, and issued guidance on airline e-tickets as supporting documents. From 1 January 2026, the general e-Fatura turnover threshold dropped to TRY 3 million (effectively zero for e-commerce/marketplace sellers). [zunapro.com], [musavirler…ubu.com.tr]
