The current framework includes a general TRY 3 million gross-sales threshold for 2022 and later periods, lower thresholds for specified activities such as certain online sales and real-estate or motor-vehicle businesses, activity or licence-based categories and direct G\u0130B notices. Eligible taxpayers can also enter voluntarily."},{"Soru":"Does every company that reaches an e-Fatura threshold enter on 1 July?","Cevap":"No. For a calendar-year taxpayer meeting the general turnover threshold in 2025, 1 July 2026 is the usual transition point, but activity-specific, licence-based, restructuring and direct-notice rules can use different clocks. For charging-network operators licensed under the Charging Service Regulation and charging-station operators certified by them that started after 7 October 2023, the e-Fatura obligation starts when the activity starts."},{"Soru":"What is the difference between e-Fatura and e-Ar\u015fiv?","Cevap":"An e-Fatura registered issuer generally sends e-Fatura to a recipient that is also registered in the e-Fatura system. Taxpayers entering e-Fatura mandatorily or voluntarily generally also enter e-Ar\u015fiv from the e-Fatura transition date, subject to the specific exception for activities that issue other documents replacing an invoice. Invoices to recipients outside the e-Fatura registered-user list are then generally handled through the applicable e-Ar\u015fiv route."},{"Soru":"What are the official ways to use e-Fatura?","Cevap":"G\u0130B recognises three methods: the G\u0130B Portal, a G\u0130B-approved private integrator and direct integration with G\u0130B. The correct choice depends on transaction complexity, integrations, controls, continuity needs and internal technical capability; a private integrator is not universally mandatory."},{"Soru":"Does a Turkish tax number or foreign ownership automatically make a company an e-Fatura user?","Cevap":"No. A VKN identifies the taxpayer, and foreign ownership does not create a separate e-Fatura category. Registration depends on the taxpayer's applicable turnover, activity, licence, status, notice or voluntary-entry decision."},{"Soru":"What should be verified before e-Fatura goes live?","Cevap":"Confirm the mandate and transition date, taxpayer and authorised-user records, selected official method, current authentication or financial-seal requirements, completed onboarding, registered-user status, end-to-end invoice routing and status handling, archive and reconciliation controls and business-continuity ownership."}],"Ayarlar":{"mikridata_aktif":true}},"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","rank_math_title":"Turkey e-Invoice Registration | 2026 e-Fatura Requirements","rank_math_description":"Check whether Turkey\u2019s e-Fatura rules apply, when you must switch, and how G\u0130B Portal, a private integrator and direct integration differ.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"e-Invoice registration in Turkey"},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3611","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3611","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3611"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6436,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3611\/revisions\/6436"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3611"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3611"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
