Add VAT to an amount or extract it from a VAT-inclusive total, with current 1%, 10% and 20% rates.

**In short.** The VAT rates applied in Türkiye are %1, %10, %20. To add VAT to a net amount, multiply it by (1 + rate); to strip VAT from a gross amount, divide it by (1 + rate). The difference is the VAT amount.

**How the calculation works**

1. **Identify the applicable rate** — Whether the good or service falls under the reduced or general rate follows the lists annexed to the VAT rate decision.
2. **From net to gross** — Gross = net × (1 + rate). At 20%, a net amount of 1,000 becomes 1,200.
3. **From gross to net** — Net = gross ÷ (1 + rate). A gross amount of 1,200 at 20% corresponds to a net amount of 1,000.
4. **Offset on the VAT return** — Input VAT paid on purchases is deducted from output VAT on sales; the balance is paid with the monthly return.

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.

**Frequently asked questions**

- **Q: How do you extract VAT from a gross amount?**
  A: Divide the VAT-inclusive amount by (1 + rate) to get the base. For 20%: base = gross ÷ 1.20; VAT = gross − base.
- **Q: What are the 2026 VAT rates?**
  A: Turkey applies three main VAT rates: 1%, 10% and 20%. The standard rate is 20%; 1% and 10% apply to specific groups of goods and services.
- **Q: Which rate applies to which good or service?**
  A: Rates are set by lists attached to the VAT Law and change from time to time. The default is 20%; 1% for basic food and 10% for some food/transport/textile items. When in doubt, check the correct rate with your accountant.
