In the draft, there are regulations regarding the arrangement, transmission, preservation and presentation of "self-employment invoice" documents, which are among the commonly used documents, in electronic environment instead of paper-based.
In the draft communique, taxpayers who are deemed to have fulfilled the necessary conditions will issue E-Self-employment invoice.

When taxpayers want to be included in the application with one of the methods specified in items 1 and 2, they must fulfill the necessary application procedures regarding the E-self-employment invoice application in accordance with the relevant guidelines published on the website of the Revenue Administration at "www.efatura.gov.tr".
Taxpayers who want to be included in the e-Self-employment invoice application with the method specified in item 3 will apply directly to any of the private integrators who have been authorized by the Presidency; no need to apply further to the Presidency.
Evaluation of Requests to Use E-Self-employment Invoice and Permission
For the applications made to the Presidency in order to benefit from the e-Self-employment invoice application through the integration of its own information processing systems with the Presidency (RA) systems, the structure and operation of the taxpayer's system, and its compliance with the procedures and principles determined in the technical guides published in this Communique and on the http://www.efatura.gov.tr website will be evaluated by the Presidency.
After the evaluation to be made by the Presidency, the taxpayers whose applications are found suitable and who have successfully completed the test processes will be allowed to benefit from the E-self-employment invoice application through the method of integration of their own information processing systems with the Presidency systems.
