The electronic invoicing process in Turkey began in 2010 with the approval of the Tax Procedure Law (VUK) giving electronic invoices the same legal validity as paper invoices. Since then, different groups of taxpayers have been mandated to join the electronic invoicing system based on their annual invoice total. The government has also implemented the mandatory use of the e-invoice by public administrations.
In the B2B environment, companies with a certain invoicing volume are obligated to invoice electronically. The moment from which the obligation begins for each volume is specified in the rollout calendar that determines which volumes will face the obligation. In the B2G environment, public administrations must be able to receive electronic invoices and their suppliers must be able to issue them if they are registered with the TRA.
