Key Compliance Requirements for Turkish Receipts
To ensure your Turkish receipts are legally compliant, they must include specific details mandated by the Turkish Tax Procedure Law and adhere to Value Added Tax (VAT), known as Katma Değer Vergisi (KDV), regulations. For 2026, a cash register receipt is sufficient for sales below 12,000 TL, but an invoice is mandatory for transactions of 12,000 TL or more, with a higher threshold of 36,000 TL for the jewelry sector. All businesses and freelancers must issue receipts or invoices within seven days of goods delivery or service performance.
