- Turkey has introduced a new framework allowing certain electronic tax documents to be issued directly through new generation payment recording devices (YN ÖKC), under VUK General Communiqué No. 593 published on May 8, 2026.
- The change is aimed at digitizing tax administration, improving transparency, and linking payment, sales, and tax reporting more closely, especially for retail and service businesses.
- Approved devices must transmit data online and securely to the Turkish Revenue Administration, and documents issued this way will be electronically signed using the device’s fiscal certificate.
- Manufacturers and service providers must be authorized, meet official technical standards, and ensure proper creation, transmission, storage, and protection of electronic documents.
- The system requires technical approval and certification, may involve TÜBİTAK review, and non-compliance can lead to penalties; businesses may need tighter integration across POS, ERP, payment, and e-document systems.
