How to use and formula

How to calculate Turkey VAT

Enter the amount, use the standard 20% rate or type a reduced rate, then choose whether you want to add VAT to a net price or remove VAT from a gross total.

  1. Enter the invoice, receipt, or product amount.
  2. Check the correct VAT rate for the item category.
  3. Use add mode for net-to-gross or reverse mode for gross-to-net.
VAT formulas

Gross = net x (1 + rate / 100)

Net = gross / (1 + rate / 100)

VAT amount = gross - net

Example at 20%: ₺100 net becomes ₺120.00 gross.

KDV Overview

Although Türkiye is not an EU member, its KDV law mirrors European invoice-credit mechanics: taxable persons deduct input KDV on business purchases and remit the balance monthly or quarterly. Frequent rate changes during inflation cycles mean ERP systems must accept user-editable percentages — static tables go stale quickly.

Rate Tiers

Luxury goods, electronics, and most services default to 20%, while unprocessed food, some medical products, and domestic air tickets may still qualify for 10%. Certain agricultural commodities and newspapers use 1%. Misclassification risks reversed deductions and late-payment surcharges from the Revenue Administration (GİB).

Digital Invoicing

E-Fatura, e-Arşiv, and e-İrsaliye integrations are mandatory for most medium and large taxpayers, with QR-coded retail receipts for smaller shops. B2B invoices must travel through the central platform, so calculator outputs should match the XML totals exactly.

Tourism

Hotels and tour operators sometimes benefit from temporary incentives or reduced treatments during promotional laws — always read the Presidential Decree in force for your season. Tax-free shopping for visitors still operates through accredited refund companies with minimum purchase rules.

If your restaurant bill shows 10% on meze but 20% on alcohol, run two quick calculations by changing only the rate field, or sum each line manually. For a single blended bill, ask the venue for a breakdown before assuming one percentage.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using 20% for every item

Turkey may have reduced, zero-rated, or exempt supplies. Match the product category before applying the standard rate.

Subtracting the percentage from a gross price

To extract VAT, divide by 1 + rate/100 — do not subtract 20% from the total.
