About this tool
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a consumption tax applied to supplies of goods and services. In Turkey, as of 2026 there are three main rates: 1% for items such as basic food, 10% for food and some transport/textile items, and the standard 20% for most goods and services.
In "add VAT" mode, the chosen rate is added onto the VAT-exclusive (base) amount to give the gross: VAT = amount × rate. In "extract VAT" mode, the gross is divided by 1 + rate to get the base, and the difference is the VAT. Both directions are useful when issuing invoices and checking VAT on purchases.
Which rate applies to which good or service, the difference between input and output VAT, and the VAT return are best handled with your accountant; rate errors can lead to penalties and to over- or under-paying VAT.
