What is VAT?

Value Added Tax (in Turkey: KDV) is an indirect tax levied on the value added at each stage of supply. The end consumer bears it; businesses deduct the VAT they paid on purchases from the VAT they collected and file the difference.

How to calculate VAT

Net to gross: Gross = Net × (1 + VAT rate)
Gross to net: Net = Gross ÷ (1 + VAT rate)
VAT amount: Gross − Net

Example: adding VAT

For a ₺1,000 net product at 20%: 1,000 × 0.20 = ₺200 VAT; gross price ₺1,200.

Example: removing VAT

From a ₺1,200 gross invoice: 1,200 ÷ 1.20 = ₺1,000 net; VAT ₺200. Common mistake: 1,200 × 0.80 = ₺960 is wrong — VAT is calculated on the net amount.

What is VAT withholding?

With VAT withholding (tevkifat), part of the VAT is paid to the tax office directly by the buyer instead of the seller (e.g. 5/10, 9/10). It applies to certain services and buyers; if your invoice has withholding, the VAT you collect is reduced accordingly.
