A Turkey estimate gives the buyer a clear price before the sale becomes invoiceable. Use it to list the goods, services, quantities, unit prices, discounts, KDV treatment, delivery expectations, and payment terms. The estimate should also identify the seller and buyer clearly, because Turkish invoices normally carry structured party and tax details once the transaction moves forward.
Domestic Turkey work should treat the Turkish lira as the ordinary invoice currency unless the contract supports another currency. For taxable supplies, show KDV as VAT, not as sales tax. Turkey's standard KDV rate is 20%, with reduced rates of 1% for List No. I supplies and 10% for List No. II supplies such as basic foodstuffs, textiles, books, and similar publications.
A clean estimate should capture the seller name or trade name, address, tax office, and VKN/TCKN. For the buyer, collect the name or trade name and tax identification details where applicable. Add an estimate number, issue date, project or reference name, line descriptions, quantities, prices, tax type, KDV rate, KDV amount, subtotal, total, and the commercial payment term.
Turkish e-Fatura and e-Arşiv invoices must include the issue date and document number, seller name or trade name, address, tax office and tax ID, buyer name or trade name and tax ID where applicable, goods or work description, quantity, price, amount, tax type, rate and amount, and delivery date and dispatch note number for goods. An estimate is not that invoice, but it should collect the same source data.
Turkey's Tax Procedure Law e-document framework affects how approved estimates become official invoices. When both seller and buyer are registered e-Fatura users, invoices between them must be issued and received as e-Fatura except for stated exceptions. Taxpayers with gross sales revenue or gross business revenue of TRY 3 million or more in the 2022 accounting period or later accounting periods are within the general e-Fatura mandate.
E-commerce work needs extra care before the buyer accepts the estimate. For internet sales, e-Arşiv invoices must state that the sale was made online and include the website address, payment method, payment date, carrier name and VKN/TCKN for goods shipments, the shipment or service performance date, and return-section details for returned goods. Collecting those details after approval slows fulfillment and invoicing.
A free estimate template is enough when you need one quote, one buyer, and a small number of lines. It works best when the price is already known, the KDV rate is clear, and the approved estimate can be copied into the e-document or accounting process without changing the commercial terms.
A managed workflow matters when estimates come from tracked work, project budgets, expenses, or multiple people. Everhour reporting can group time, costs, billable amounts, invoice status, and client data across projects before an estimate or invoice is prepared. That gives the billing owner a record of the work behind the number, not just a formatted document.

A Turkey estimate is a commercial offer, not the official tax invoice. The approved transaction may need e-Fatura or e-Arşiv treatment depending on the parties and taxpayer status. Keep the estimate invoice-ready by collecting tax IDs, tax office details, line descriptions, KDV rate and amount, delivery details for goods, and the commercial payment term.
Use the KDV rate that applies to the listed goods or services. Turkey's general KDV rate is 20%, with reduced rates of 1% for List No. I supplies and 10% for List No. II supplies such as basic foodstuffs, textiles, books, and similar publications. Do not label KDV as a discount or include it only in a note.
Collect the seller's VKN/TCKN and registered tax office. For the buyer, collect the name or trade name and tax ID where applicable. Those details are required on Turkish e-Fatura and e-Arşiv invoices, so adding them to the estimate prevents rework after the buyer accepts the price.
The estimate can use its own estimate number, but the later e-document must follow Turkey's numbering structure. Turkish e-documents use a three-character unit code and a 13-digit sequence. The sequence includes a four-character year and a nine-character serial number that starts from 1 at the beginning of each year and cannot be reused by the taxpayer.
Online sales often fail at the handoff because the estimate misses e-Arşiv internet sale fields. For goods shipments, collect the website address, payment method, payment date, carrier name and VKN/TCKN, shipment or service performance date, and return-section details for returned goods. Those details belong in the later e-Arşiv invoice.
Everhour Reporting lets teams build reports with 45+ columns, filters, grouping, date ranges, and exports. A billing owner can review project, client, billable time, cost, invoice status, and profitability data before preparing an estimate, so the quoted amount ties back to the recorded work.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, using rates, time, and billable expenses while excluding non-billable work. Invoice line items can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or other available breakdowns to match the client's expected format.
Use a template for one Turkey estimate. Use Everhour Reporting when quotes need project history, grouped billable data, exports, and invoice status visibility behind every client number.
