Turkey Launches Draft for E-Expense Receipt System, Opens Consultation

The system will digitize expense receipts, particularly for transactions with tax-exempt tradespeople, and will operate within the broader e-Archive infrastructure. Once finalized, it is expected to simplify compliance, improve transparency, and strengthen Turkey’s digital tax ecosystem alongside e-invoice, e-waybill, and other e-document systems.

Turkey’s Revenue Administration has released a draft package for the new e-Expense Receipt (e-Gider Pusulası) system and invited public feedback until today, 8 October 2025.

The e-Expense Receipt will digitize the issuance and storage of expense receipts, especially for purchases from tax-exempt tradespeople. Until now, these receipts have largely been paper-based.

Expense receipts are official documents issued to record payments made to individuals or entities not registered for VAT, such as tax-exempt tradespeople, small artisans, farmers, or freelancers.

The application is part of the e-Archive framework, designed to integrate with Turkey’s wider electronic document infrastructure. Stakeholders can review the draft and provide feedback through the Revenue Administration’s e-document portal (ebelge.gib.gov.tr) or by email.

Why does it matter?

• Simplifies business operations by cutting paperwork,
• Increases transparency in transactions with tax-exempt suppliers,
• Strengthens Turkey’s digital tax tools, joining existing systems such as e-invoice, e-waybill, and e-self-employment receipts,

• Supports the government’s goal of reducing the informal economy and improving tax audits.

After reviewing feedback, the administration will finalize the package and officially launch the e-Expense Receipt application.
