Highlight

Turkey was one of the first countries to introduce fiscalization in 1985, mandating the use of pre-certified cash registers for VAT taxpayers of a certain size and business field. In 2013, the New Generation Cash Registers were introduced, at first only for roadside parking purposes, and later available for VAT taxpayers. The hardware fiscalization system was dominant in Turkey until 2020, when the software fiscalization system was introduced, resulting in Turkey having two types of fiscalization systems today. The official currency is the Turkish lira (TL).

Turkey

Turkey’s fiscalization system has long been limited to hardware. Initially, certified cash registers were used, and in 2013, the New Generation Cash Registers were introduced. In 2020, Turkey modernized its fiscalization system, introducing the software fiscalization (e-Invoicing system). Companies in Turkey can opt for processing their transactions through invoicing platforms in a special B2C e-Invoicing format, known in Turkey as e-Archive. Today, Turkey has two fiscalization systems (hardware and software), and companies operating in Turkey can use either the hardware or software system, provided that they fulfil the necessary requirements.

Type of fiscalization: Hardware or Software

Turkey was among the first countries to introduce fiscalization, adopting its first law in 1985 and requiring certain VAT taxpayers to use pre-certified cash registers. 

New Generation Cash Registers, connected online to the Tax Authority, were introduced in 2013 and became mandatory for all VAT taxpayers by 2018 after a phased transition. 

Since 2020, Turkey has also allowed software-based fiscalization through e-Document systems as an alternative to hardware devices. Both fiscalization systems can be used by companies doing business in Turkey.
