E-Invoice General Features

E-Invoice Application is an application created by the Revenue Administration in order to ensure the safe and healthy circulation of invoices issued in the form of electronic documents between the parties. It is a messaging infrastructure that enables the transmission of invoices issued by predefined users in UBL-TR standard and as electronic documents from the sending party to the receiving party via the specified data transfer protocol.

Taxpayers who want to issue e-Invoices can only issue invoices to recipients defined in the system. Likewise, taxpayers who want to receive e-invoices can only receive invoices from taxpayers who issue invoices through the application. Therefore, taxpayers who want to issue invoices or receive invoices must be mutually defined in the system.

What are the benefits of using e-Invoice?

The benefits of using e-Invoice can be summarized under the following headings:

  • Provides solutions for printing, mailing and archiving activities
  • Reduces printing, mailing and archiving costs
  • Minimizes delays, disputes and user errors
  • Respect for the environment

With the publication of Tax Procedure Law General Communiqué No. 397, the Electronic Invoice Application (e-Invoice Application) has been put into service. Details of the application can be found on the web address of the Revenue Administration.

According to the communiqué published by the Revenue Administration;

Users with sufficient IT capacities can use the e-Invoice Application directly through their own IT systems, provided that they provide integration in accordance with the specified standards.

The e-Invoice Portal, which was developed to enable users who do not have sufficient infrastructure to use the e-Invoice Application through integration, to benefit from the application, is a web application that contains the basic functions of the e-Invoice Application. Users who activate their user account will be able to start sending and/or receiving e-invoices by logging into the e-Invoice Portal.

According to the General Communiqué on Tax Procedure Law,
  • e-Invoice is not a new type of document and has the same legal characteristics as a paper invoice.
  • Taxpayers who are obliged to issue invoices for the sale of goods or services can issue paper invoices within the framework of general provisions, as well as e-Invoice within the framework of the conditions in this communiqué. It is not possible to issue both a paper invoice and an electronic invoice together in the same sale of goods or services. If the customer requests, it is obligatory to issue only a paper invoice within the framework of general provisions.
  • In order to ensure the healthy development of the e-Invoice application, the Presidency plans to gradually expand the application. In this respect, it has been deemed appropriate to initially allow only taxpayers with joint stock and limited liability company status to send and/or receive e-Invoices within the scope of the application.

BILTAŞ E-Invoice application supports the customization of the invoice and application response from the documents included in the UBL-TR, UBL 2.0 standard created within the scope of the electronic invoice studies carried out by the Revenue Administration;

  • The elements shown as mandatory in the UBL 2.0 standard are also used in UBL-TR.
  • Code lists have been defined for elements that need to be expressed according to a specific code list (Measure, Currency Code Lists).

According to the application made to the Revenue Administration, two different options are offered to users in e-Invoice receiving/sending transactions.

  1. BILTAŞ E-Invoice RA File Transfer module (Offline): If only “e-Invoice user account” is opened from the Revenue Administration, the invoices saved in BILTAŞ are created as e-Invoice in the desired standards, but manually uploaded to the e-Invoice portal due to not having an integration license.
  1. BILTAŞ E-Invoice RA online integration module: For our customers who apply for “e-Invoice Integration” to the Revenue Administration, sending their invoices directly from within the e-Invoice application and saving the invoices sent to them in a similar way.
