- The article discusses the complexities and challenges of the VAT refund process in Turkey, particularly with the new ATİK regulation. It highlights how the VAT refund process has become increasingly burdensome for both taxpayers and the administration, partly due to the state’s reluctance to compensate for VAT carried forward because of the informal economy. The article explains the VAT mechanism, the impact of inflation on VAT refunds, and the difficulties arising from exceptions in the refund process. It also addresses the issue of amortization and how it relates to the refund of VAT on depreciable economic assets (ATİK), emphasizing the importance of adhering to accounting principles and the concept of periodicity in calculating taxes.
