- Starting October 2025, Turkey will enforce a stricter tax audit policy targeting high-risk sectors, electronic records, and VAT compliance. The policy, using AI and advanced risk analysis, will presume all detected irregularities as intentional, leading to severe penalties, including prison terms. Businesses must adopt proactive compliance, with strong internal controls and detailed transaction documentation. The policy emphasizes real-time monitoring and requires financial guarantees during audits. Professionals like CPAs will have expanded roles in educating clients and enhancing internal controls. Failure to comply could result in financial and criminal consequences.
