3 VALUE-ADDED TAX Introduction The (VAT), 1 under current Turkish tax regulations, is an indirect consumption tax that is levied on both the supply and the importation of goods and services. From the producer to the end user, it is a tax that is triggered at each phase. The VAT is a heavily relied upon tool for public finance in Turkey (which is the case for many other countries across the globe) as almost 30 percent of the tax revenue is collected through this indirect consumption tax. The VAT is a heavily relied upon tool for public finance in Turkey as almost 30 percent of the tax revenue is collected through it. Liability The legal taxpayer of the VAT is the supplier or the importer of the goods and services according to Turkish Value Added Tax Law. The suppliers and the importers of the goods and services, in principle, have to register themselves for VAT in the local tax offices. However, both the supplier and the importer are normally able to set off the VAT incurred on their business expenses (input VAT) against the VAT they collect from their customers (output VAT). As a natural result, the final consumers who are unable to set off the VAT on the goods and services they purchase ultimately have to bear the economic burden. Unlike many other jurisdictions such as Germany or the UK, VAT registration for groups where related companies or partnerships can register as a single taxable person is not possible under current Turkish regulations. That said, related companies, no matter how closely they are connected, are regarded as separate entities for VAT purposes and therefore must be registered separately. 1 1 Katma Değer Vergisi is the Turkish term used for. The abbreviated version (VAT) in Turkish is KDV.
4 Taxable Transactions Delivery of goods and services within the context of commercial, industrial, agricultural or independent professional activities as well as importing goods and services into Turkey trigger VAT. Taxable Base When calculating the VAT, the total value of the consideration excluding the VAT constitutes the taxable base of a transaction. In case where the consideration is not known, market value (the average price that is payable in the market for similar goods or services) is taken as the taxable base. VAT Registration Unlike many other jurisdictions such as the EU member states, the Turkish tax regulations do not stipulate VAT registration turnover thresholds. Any person or legal entity engaging in taxable transactions within Turkey must register as a VAT taxpayer in the local tax office. For businesses that provide services but do not have a permanent establishment in Turkey, reverse charge mechanism, which will be explained in further detail below, is applied. 2 When a commercial entity is established and registered in the local tax office for corporate and income tax purposes, the VAT registration is also automatically made. Reverse Charge In circumstances where the supplier of services (i.e. the taxpayer) does not have a permanent residence or establishment in Turkey, the other party (recipient of the services) to the taxable transaction is held responsible for the payment of the VAT. The reverse charge is, on the one hand, a simplification measure in order to avoid the need for service suppliers to register in Turkey, and the VAT paid to the tax office by the Turkish customer on behalf of the foreign supplier is treated as input VAT and can be set off in the same month. That means the recipient of the services in Turkey does not pay anything extra to or can
5 reclaim anything from the tax office, i.e. there is neither benefit nor loss in the reverse charge mechanism. However, if the necessary steps are not properly taken, the recipient of the services will be fined as much as the full amount of the unaccounted VAT. 2 The reverse charge applies to services only as for the goods imported into Turkey, the importer is liable to pay the VAT at the Customs. The standard VAT rate in Turkey is 18% and normally applies to all supplies of goods and services unless the regulations expressly grant a reduced rate or an exemption to certain goods and services. VAT Withholding Certain public institutions (e.g. municipalities, universities or state-owned enterprises) or private entities (e.g. banks, financial institutions or listed companies) are obliged to withhold a portion of the VAT calculated in the invoices for certain goods and services (e.g. toll-manufacturing textile materials and consultancy, security or catering services) they purchase. In that case, the purchaser of the goods or services that withhold a portion of the VAT is held responsible for paying such portion directly to the tax office on behalf of the supplier (who is the legal taxpayer). VAT Rates According to the current Turkish VAT regulations, standard and reduced VAT rates apply to different baskets of goods and services. The standard VAT rate in Turkey is 18% and normally applies to all supplies of goods and services unless the regulations expressly grant a reduced rate or an exemption to certain goods and services. Currently there are two reduced VAT rates: 8% (applies to certain basic food products, books, medical products, pharmaceuticals, textile products, delivery of certain residential properties, etc.) and 1% (applies to certain agricultural products, certain financial leasing transactions, delivery of certain residential properties, newspapers and magazines, etc.). 3 2 It should be noted that penalties can be deducted neither from corporate nor individual income for corporate and income tax purposes respectively.
6 Exemptions There are two types of exemptions in the Turkish VAT regulations: Partial exemptions and full exemptions. In a partial exemption scenario, unlike full exemption, the input VAT that is paid by the purchaser of the goods or services can neither be deducted from the output VAT nor refunded. Such exemptions include: - goods delivered or services rendered by public institutions (municipalities, universities, etc.) for cultural, educational, health and other similar reasons, - goods delivered or services rendered in Free Trade Zones, - financial transactions, and - the delivery of unprocessed gold, scrap metal, plastic and other various items. In that case, the input VAT paid on the invoices can only be accounted as expense or cost. As the purchaser of the goods or services cannot deduct the input VAT from the output VAT, the pricing of the taxpayer will normally include the input VAT that cannot be deducted. So the end user will pay more for the goods or services purchased. 4 On the other hand, supply of goods and services with full exemption entitles the taxpayer to deduct the input VAT from the output VAT which is payable while purchasing goods and services. Furthermore, in a full exemption scenario, the taxpayer can be refunded when the input VAT exceeds its output VAT. Such exemptions include: - Exportation of goods and services, - international transportation, - delivery of goods for petroleum exploration, - delivery of goods to the Directorate of Defence Industry, - delivery of goods to the investment incentive certificate holders, and - services rendered for vessels and aircrafts at harbours and airports. In a full exemption scenario, as the input VAT paid on invoices can be fully deducted, the pricing of the taxpayer will only include the purchase price plus the profit, i.e. there will be no VAT burden on it.
7 VAT Recovery When the input VAT of a business is higher than its output VAT, the difference can be recovered. However, unless specific exceptions apply, the difference cannot be refunded but carried forward in order to set it off against output VAT in the future. Input VAT can only be recovered provided that it is charged on purchases of goods and services that are used for business purposes and accepted as deductible expense under Turkish tax regulations. Furthermore, expenses made in the previous fiscal years cannot be subject to VAT recovery. No time limitations apply for recovering the deferred VAT from future output VAT. VAT Recovery When the input VAT of a business is higher than its output VAT, the difference between the input and output VATs cannot be refunded but carried forward in order to set it off against future output VAT. VAT Refund As explained in VAT Recovery above, when the input VAT of a business is higher than its output VAT, the difference between the input and output VATs cannot be refunded but carried forward in order to set it off against future output VAT. However, there are exceptions where such excess or the whole input VAT in the absence of transactions subject to VAT can be refunded to the taxpayer. The exceptions include the VAT paid for delivery of goods and services that are subject to a reduced rate or fully exempt (such as exportation of goods and services, international transportation, etc.), diplomatic exemptions, etc. The input VAT for the goods and services purchased by foreign companies when participating in fairs or exhibitions in Turkey (subject to reciprocity) or fuel, repair and spare part expenses made by non-resident international transport companies is also refunded. Instead of making the refund in cash, the VAT refund can be credited against other tax liabilities of the taxpayer as well. 5 VAT Returns Tax returns for VAT must be filed with the local tax office monthly. No annual VAT returns are submitted.
8 The tax returns are submitted through an electronical system on the 24 th day of the following month at the latest. Payment Details The VAT payment must be made in 2 days following the submission of the VAT returns (i.e. on the 26 th day of the following month). The payment can either be made directly in the local tax offices or through bank payment. 6
