Administration (G\u0130B) e-document framework. It is not a new document type with a different legal nature from the ordinary invoice. The e-Ar\u015fiv rule determines the <strong>electronic form\/routing of an invoice that must be issued<\/strong>; it should not be read as creating a separate obligation to issue an invoice for every transaction regardless of the underlying invoice rules.<\/p>\n<p>For taxpayers enrolled in the e-Ar\u015fiv application, the ordinary routing principle is:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Recipient is registered in e-Fatura:<\/strong> issue e-Fatura, subject to the applicable exceptions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recipient is not registered in e-Fatura:<\/strong> issue e-Ar\u015fiv Fatura, subject to the applicable rules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Taxpayers that enter e-Fatura mandatorily or voluntarily generally also enter the e-Ar\u015fiv Fatura application from the e-Fatura transition date, subject to the specific exception for activities that issue other documents replacing an invoice.

It is generally used when the applicable invoice route is not e-Fatura, including invoices to recipients who are not registered in e-Fatura and transaction-level cases required by the current Communiqu\u00e9. It is not limited to B2C, small-business or foreign-customer transactions."},{"Soru":"What is the difference between e-Fatura and e-Archive invoice?","Cevap":"For an issuer enrolled in the applicable e-document systems, the recipient's e-Fatura registration is a key routing check: registered recipients generally receive e-Fatura and other recipients e-Ar\u015fiv, subject to the applicable rules. Taxpayers that enter 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."},{"Soru":"Who must issue e-Archive invoices in Turkey?","Cevap":"Application-enrolment obligations and transaction-level issuance rules are separate. In 2026, for invoices covered by IV.2.4.3, the tax-inclusive TRY 3,000 limit applies to the specified simple-method and business-account taxpayers; other covered taxpayers have no amount limit. Check the taxpayer category rather than relying only on turnover."},{"Soru":"How are e-Archive invoices delivered, reported and stored?","Cevap":"Follow the current G\u0130B rules for the portal or integration method used. The recipient copy can be delivered on paper or electronically according to the recipient's request and applicable route, while the issuer's copy is retained and produced electronically. Sending the customer a PDF is not by itself the full compliance process; current reporting, correction and cancellation rules must also be followed."},{"Soru":"Can foreign companies or foreign customers receive e-Archive invoices?","Cevap":"Yes. E-Archive invoices can be issued to foreign customers, including individuals or companies without a Turkish tax ID. The invoice should include the correct customer details, such as name, address, and the accepted identification information."}],"Ayarlar":{"mikridata_aktif":true}},"_yoast_wpseo_title":"","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"","_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"","rank_math_title":"e-Archive Invoice Turkey | 2026 e-Ar\u015fiv Rules","rank_math_description":"Learn Turkey's 2026 e-Ar\u015fiv invoice rules, who must issue e-Ar\u015fiv, the TRY 3,000 exception for certain taxpayers, and the current G\u0130B portal route.","rank_math_focus_keyword":"e-archive invoice Turkey"},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3623","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\/3623","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=3623"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6241,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3623\/revisions\/6241"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/workon.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
