Planning an e-Invoice transition: 5 checks
e-Invoice does not apply to every business on the same date or through the same method. Verify your activity, taxpayer status, and current rules with GİB or your tax adviser.
Five steps
1. Verify scope
Check current GİB e-Document notices and communiqués for your activity and taxpayer status; do not treat a generic web article as a compliance decision.
2. Select method and authorization
With an authorized adviser, determine which current GİB portal, private integrator, or other permitted method fits your status.
3. Review master data
Validate tax identifiers, recipient mapping, addresses, and document scenarios using samples; list rejected records separately.
4. Test and reconcile
Before production, use the authorized channel’s test/sample process; review inbound/outbound status, cancellation/objection, and accounting entries together.
5. Set archive and ownership
Document owners for retention, access, error tracking, and period close. Follow current GİB rules and your tax adviser’s calendar.
