VAT Withholding And Income Tax Withholding In Commercial Advertising Services

As per the Value Added Tax General Implementation Communiqué, all VAT payers and designated buyers must apply 3/10 VAT withholding on commercial advertising services.
The essential points that are considered in the invoices to be issued within the scope of services related to internet advertisements are as follows.
• 3/10 VAT withholding application is valid for real and legal persons who are liable to VAT. Companies that are VAT taxpayers must issue the invoices considering the 3/10 VAT withholding application, in case the service amount exceeds 2.000 TRL including VAT.
• Fully (10/10) VAT withholding is applied to the earnings of individuals who are not VAT taxpayers.
• 15% income tax withholding is deducted from individuals who are not VAT taxpayers and real persons who are VAT taxpayers.
