The value-added tax (VAT) rate in Turkey is 18%. VAT is a tax on the value added to goods and services at each stage of production and distribution. The VAT rate in Turkey applies to the sale of goods and services within the country, as well as to imports. Businesses in Turkey that are registered for VAT are required to charge VAT on their sales, and to collect and remit VAT on behalf of the government. VAT registered businesses can also claim back the VAT paid on their inputs, which helps to reduce the cost of doing business in the country.
