E-transformation in Türkiye is no longer an optional modernization step; for many businesses it is now a legal requirement. This guide explains, in plain language, what e-Invoice and e-Archive are, who they apply to, and how to make the switch.
What are e-Invoice and e-Archive?
e-Invoice is the electronic equivalent of a paper invoice, delivered to registered e-Invoice taxpayers through the Revenue Administration (GİB) system. e-Archive Invoice is the electronic invoice issued to non-registered individuals and companies (including end consumers). Both are legally equivalent to paper invoices.
Who must switch?
The scope expands every year and turnover thresholds keep dropping. Businesses above certain revenue, e-commerce sellers and specific sectors defined by GİB are included. Always confirm the current threshold and your own status with your accountant or via GİB, as limits change annually.
Why it pays off (even if not mandatory)
- Cost: no more paper, printing, shipping or physical archiving.
- Speed: invoices arrive in seconds, collections accelerate.
- Fewer errors thanks to automated checks.
- Secure archive: invoices stored and searchable for years.
- Compliance made easy during audits and reconciliations.
How to switch, step by step
- Determine whether you are in scope.
- Choose a method: GİB portal, a private integrator, or direct integration (best for high volume).
- Obtain a financial seal / e-signature.
- Connect your accounting/ERP software so invoices are issued in one click.
- Test and go live.
