e-Arşiv

Electronic Archive Invoice (Turkey)
Quick definition: An electronic invoice issued to customers without a tax stamp (private consumers, individuals). Delivered as PDF instead of a paper invoice.

Difference from e-Fatura

e-Fatura circulates between organizations holding a tax stamp. It flows through GIB's infrastructure.

e-Arşiv is issued to consumers, small tradespeople, and those without a tax stamp. It's delivered as a PDF by email, but reporting goes back to GIB.

Both are subject to mandatory thresholds: companies with annual revenue of TRY 3M+ generally must use both.

Format and delivery

An e-Arşiv invoice is in UBL-TR XML format. While the customer receives a PDF visually, the XML version is reported to GIB in the background.

Onremo's Hesap Atölyesi e-Defter system automatically handles the e-Arşiv issuance flow.
