Turkey E-Invoicing Mandate (e-Fatura)
Prepare your business for the Turkish e-invoicing mandate. Ensure seamless compliance with the GIB (Revenue Administration) using the standard UBL-TR format and Integral Connection.
What is the Turkish E-Invoicing Mandate?
Turkey introduced mandatory e-Invoicing (e-Fatura) to digitize tax compliance and close the VAT gap. The system requires businesses to generate, transmit, and store electronic invoices in the standardized UBL-TR format through the GIB (Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı) portal. The mandate expands progressively, continually lowering the revenue thresholds for required integration.
