According to the regulation, if the export is not carried out within this period due to force majeure or unexpected circumstances, the additional time requests of the exporters will be evaluated according to the explanations made by the relevant tax office/registry office in the section of the Value Added Tax General Implementation Communiqué (II/A-8.6).
Accordingly, additional time will be requested by the exporters by submitting a petition to the relevant tax office or income office within 15 days following the end of the 3-month period at the latest. Additional time requests made after this period or not made by the exporter will not be accepted.

No documents will be required by the taxpayers’ Tax Office or Registrar’s Office to prove the event or situation that forms the basis of the additional time request. Tax Offices and Heads of Revenue Offices will first examine the additional time requests made to them by the relevant exporter taxpayer to see if the request is made on time.
