Chapter 44
e-Fatura and e-Arşiv — what do I have to do?
Whether you are legally required to send e-Fatura is a question for your accountant or GİB, not for this guide — what the guide can tell you is what the product does once you are.
The product decides which document to send for you: a buyer registered with GİB receives an e-Fatura, an unregistered one receives an e-Arşiv, checked automatically against GİB's own register every time — you never choose between them by hand. What it does not do is meter the connection itself: you bring your own account with an entegratör, a GİB-approved intermediary, enter its credentials once, and every invoice goes out through that account, never through ours.
What is safe to say, and what is not ours to say
GİB requires e-Fatura from a business once it crosses a revenue threshold the authority sets and can change — whether that applies to you, and from when, is exactly the question an accountant answers, and this guide will not guess at it.
What the product itself guarantees: it will not run on a test entegratör connection in production, because a test key makes every invoice look sent while none of them reach GİB — a shop would only learn that from the tax authority, not from us. Connecting your real account before you need to is what protects against that.
