VAT (Value Added Tax) is an indirect consumption tax levied on the sale of goods and services. It is paid by the end consumer and collected at each stage of the production chain.

Three different VAT rates apply in Turkey in 2025: 1% (basic food items, newspapers and magazines), 10% (medicines, certain food products, housing deliveries, hotel and accommodation services), and 20% (general rate, applicable to most goods and services).

To find the VAT-exclusive amount from a VAT-inclusive price, divide the price by (1 + VAT rate). For example, a product priced at 1,200 with 20% VAT has a VAT-exclusive price of: 1,200 / 1.20 = 1,000. The VAT amount is 200.

To find the VAT-inclusive amount from a VAT-exclusive price, multiply the price by (1 + VAT rate). For example, a 1,000 product at 20% VAT has a VAT-inclusive price of: 1,000 x 1.20 = 1,200. The VAT paid is 200.

The tax base is the VAT-exclusive amount on which the tax is calculated. To find the base from a VAT-inclusive price, divide the total by (1 + VAT rate). The VAT base is the pre-tax amount shown on the invoice.
