VAT Consulting… Value Added Tax (VAT) is the specific name given to the tax that the seller calculates and collects from the buyer and pays to the tax office during the delivery of goods and services in Turkey. VAT applied within the framework of the Law No. 3065, which entered into force in 1985, is, in fact, a type of consumption tax. Due to the discount mechanism in its nature, taxpayers do not have a tax burden as a principle and the tax burden is given to the last consumer.
