Quick definition: Electronic invoice circulating between organizations that hold a tax stamp. Flows through GIB infrastructure.
How it works
The seller creates an e-Fatura via its own software (Logo, Paraşüt, etc.). The invoice is sent to GIB Central, which then delivers it to the buyer.
The whole flow takes 30–60 seconds. No paper invoice, no fax, no email.
Advantages
(1) Speed: Sent the same day, posted to accounting the same day.
(2) Prevents informality: GIB sees every invoice.
(3) Easy archiving: 10 years of electronic storage is straightforward.
(4) Accountant's job is easier: Auto-converts to ledger entries.
Tax stamp (mali mühür)
A tax stamp (corporate SM electronic signature) is required to issue e-Fatura. Obtained from accredited bodies such as TÜRKTRUST or Kamu SM.
