A Turkey invoice needs more than a client name and total due. The practical job is to prepare a document that shows the seller, buyer, goods or services, taxable base, KDV rate, KDV amount, and delivery information in a form the buyer can process. Domestic invoices normally use Turkish lira, and payment terms remain a commercial agreement rather than a separate invoice-format mandate.
Turkey's e-document rules matter before the invoice leaves your desk. The Tax Procedure Law e-document framework covers e-Fatura and e-Arşiv. If both seller and buyer are registered e-Fatura users, their invoice must be issued and received as e-Fatura except for stated exceptions. Other cases often move through e-Arşiv, especially as Revenue Administration rules expand electronic issuing.
A complete Turkish e-Fatura or e-Arşiv invoice includes 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. Goods invoices also need the delivery date and dispatch note number.
Tax identity is a common cleanup point. Turkish invoices use VKN/TCKN and the registered tax office for the seller and applicable buyers. E-documents also use a specific numbering structure: a 3-character unit code plus a 13-digit sequence. That sequence includes a four-character year and a nine-character serial number that starts from 1 each year and cannot be reused by the taxpayer.
Good software for Turkey keeps KDV visible at the line or summary level, because Turkey uses VAT, locally KDV. The general KDV rate is 20%, while reduced rates of 1% and 10% apply to listed supplies. A wrong rate creates more than a cosmetic issue, since input VAT and output VAT flow through the VAT return.
Electronic issuing status is the second software test. Taxpayers with gross sales revenue or gross business revenue of TRY 3 million or more in the 2022 accounting period or later accounting periods fall within the general e-Fatura mandate. Certain online marketplace, listing, advertising intermediary, and online seller categories enter e-Fatura or e-Arşiv rules at TRY 500,000 or more for 2022 and later accounting periods.
A one-off invoice tool works for a simple document when you already know the buyer details, KDV treatment, e-document route, and payment terms. It is enough for preparing a clean draft, checking required fields, and avoiding missing tax identity data before the invoice goes through the proper Turkish issuing channel.
A managed workflow becomes useful when the invoice starts from billable time, project rates, expenses, and client defaults. Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates while excluding non-billable work, and keeps invoice status connected after export to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks.

A Turkey invoice should use KDV, the local VAT label. Turkey applies VAT to deliveries of goods and services, and businesses offset input VAT against output VAT on the VAT return. The invoice should show the tax type, rate, and amount, with the correct rate selected for the supply.
Missing VKN/TCKN, tax office, document number, KDV details, buyer identity, or delivery information creates rework. Goods invoices also need delivery date and dispatch note number. Internet sales need extra e-Arşiv data, including website address, payment method, payment date, carrier details for goods shipments, and shipment or service performance date.
Registered e-Fatura sellers and buyers must use e-Fatura between themselves except for stated exceptions. Other invoices often fall under e-Arşiv rules. As of 2026, taxpayers not already in e-Arşiv generally must issue invoices as e-Arşiv through the Revenue Administration portal or an approved private integrator regardless of amount, with a temporary TRY 3,000 threshold for taxpayers taxed under simple or operating-account rules through 2026.
Software should let you select the correct KDV rate for the supply instead of forcing one default. Turkey's general VAT rate is 20%. Reduced rates of 1% apply to List No. I supplies, and 10% applies to List No. II supplies such as basic foodstuffs, textiles, books, and similar publications.
Turkish e-documents use a document number with a 3-character unit code and a 13-digit sequence. The sequence includes a four-character year and a nine-character serial number. The serial number starts from 1 at the beginning of each year and cannot be reused by the taxpayer.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates, and excludes non-billable tasks. Client settings can hold contact details, taxes, discounts, and payment terms so recurring invoice preparation starts from the right defaults.
Everhour exports invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks as drafts for accounting review. Invoice status, number, issue date, and amount sync back to Everhour, so billing reports stay connected to the client invoice after the accounting tool takes over.
Track approved time, rates, expenses, and client defaults in Everhour, then generate invoices with status visibility and accounting export instead of rebuilding billing records by hand.
