Info: The general VAT rate in Türkiye is %20. Reduced rates (%1 and %10) apply to certain groups of goods and services; %8 and %18 are rates from before 10 July 2023. If you are not sure which VAT rate your transaction is subject to, we recommend consulting a financial advisor.

How is VAT calculated?

VAT is found by applying the VAT rate to the price of the goods or services (tax base). Which formula to use depends on whether the amount you have excludes or includes VAT:

  • From the VAT-exclusive amount: VAT = Tax base × Rate, VAT-inclusive amount = Tax base × (1 + Rate)
  • From the VAT-inclusive amount: Tax base = VAT-inclusive amount ÷ (1 + Rate), VAT = VAT-inclusive amount − Tax base

Sample calculation

If %20 VAT is applied to a service of 10.000 TL excluding VAT, the VAT is 10.000 × 0,20 = 2.000 TL and the VAT-inclusive amount is 12.000 TL. In reverse, the tax base of a VAT-inclusive amount of 12.000 TL is 12.000 ÷ 1,20 = 10.000 TL, and the VAT within it is 2.000 TL.

A common mistake is to take %20 of the VAT-inclusive amount and treat it as VAT: 12.000 × 0,20 = 2.400 TL is wrong. VAT is calculated from a VAT-inclusive amount by first finding the tax base.

Current VAT rates

VAT rates are set by Presidential decision based on Art. 28 of Value Added Tax Law No. 3065. Since 10 July 2023, the general rate has been %20 (previously %18) and the reduced rate %10 (previously %8); the %1 rate continues for certain goods and services. The %8 and %18 options in the tool are for checking transactions from before this date.

Frequently asked questions

How is VAT found from a VAT-inclusive price?

The tax base is found by dividing the VAT-inclusive amount by (1 + VAT rate); VAT is obtained by subtracting the tax base from the VAT-inclusive amount. For example, for 12.000 TL including %20 VAT, the tax base is 12.000 ÷ 1,20 = 10.000 TL and the VAT is 2.000 TL.

What are the current VAT rates?

Since 10 July 2023, the general VAT rate has been %20 and the reduced rates %10 and %1. Which rate a transaction is subject to depends on the type of goods or services.

Are the %18 and %8 VAT rates still valid?

No. The %18 general rate was raised to %20 and the %8 reduced rate to %10 on 10 July 2023. These rates are relevant only to transactions and invoices from before that date.

Is VAT added to attorney fees?

Legal services are subject to VAT at the general rate (%20). The amounts in the Attorneys' Minimum Fee Tariff, on the other hand, are gross; the attorney fee tool calculates the gross fee according to the tariff and does not add VAT to it.
