A mature two-track regime under VUK Communiqué 509: e-Fatura clears B2B invoices through the GİB in real time, while e-Arşiv invoices go to the customer and are reported to the GİB by the end of the next day. QR codes since Sep 2023, 10-year digital archive. The 2026 change: no invoice, however small, may be issued on paper by businesses.

Two questions. The fixed-establishment rule is where most foreign businesses get it wrong.
Roughly how big is the business?
Is your business established in Türkiye – a company, branch, or fixed establishment there?
Not in scope for Türkiye
With no establishment and no Turkish tax registration, GİB e-invoicing does not reach you – imports are documented on the Turkish buyer's side. Revisit if you set up locally or register for Turkish VAT on electronic services (a declaration-based regime, without issuing duties per the sources read).
Registered without establishment – check your position
GİB e-invoicing duties attach to Turkish-registered taxpayers – the sources read show no e-Fatura or e-Arşiv duties for non-residents without establishment (electronic-service VAT for non-residents runs on declarations). But a Turkish registration with local-source activity can carry issuer duties, and the sector thresholds are low. Confirm your position with the GİB or your adviser before relying on an exemption.
In scope – e-Arşiv, with no threshold left
Below the e-Fatura thresholds you issue e-Arşiv invoices through the GİB portal or an integrator – and since 1 January 2026 the per-invoice threshold is abolished (VUK Communiqué 573). Every invoice, however small, is electronic, and each day's e-Arşiv invoices are reported to the GİB by the end of the next day.
In scope – you are on the e-Fatura network
Above TRY 3 million gross revenue (or the TRY 500,000 sector thresholds for e-commerce, real estate, vehicles and accommodation) you are on the e-Fatura network: UBL-TR 1.2 invoices cleared through the GİB in real time, QR codes on every document, and a 10-year digital archive. Penalties run at 10% of the invoice value (minimum TRY 2,200) – and receivers can be liable alongside issuers.
A single date hides the rollout. Here's the full sequence.
2014–2022
Phased e-Fatura rollout

Scope
The e-Fatura network is mandatory above TRY 3 million gross revenue (since Jul 2023), with a TRY 500,000 threshold for e-commerce, real estate, vehicle and accommodation businesses. Everyone else issues e-Arşiv invoices – and since 1 Jan 2026 the per-invoice threshold is abolished (VUK Communiqué 573), so all invoices from all businesses are electronic.
10% of the invoice value per improper invoice, minimum TRY 2,200, with an annual cap of roughly TRY 1,100,000 – both issuer and receiver can be liable.
