Turkey

Amazon Web Services Turkey Pazarlama, Teknoloji ve Danışmanlık Hizmetleri Limited Şirketi (AWS Turkey) is an entity established in Türkiye which started selling our services to customers in Türkiye on 1 January 2024.

If you have accounts located in Türkiye, AWS Turkey is required to charge local VAT (or Katma Deger Vergisi (KDV) in Turkish) on all service charges incurred from 1 January 2024.  

For the applicable rates of VAT, please see our VAT Rates Summary Table (EMEA).

All VAT collected from customers in Türkiye will be paid to the Turkish Revenue Administration.

For tax information relating to the AWS Marketplace, please visit AWS Marketplace- Tax Help for Buyers or AWS Marketplace- Tax Help for Sellers.

AWS collects Tax Registration Numbers (“TRNs”) associated with Value Added Tax (“VAT”) in certain countries to determine your status, as a business (B2B) or private / non-business customer (B2C), as this is a key factor to determine AWS’ liability to charge VAT on your service charges.

If you have a valid TRN associated with VAT, please visit the Tax Settings page of the AWS Billing Console and confirm or update your details, including your Business Legal Address for all of your account(s).

The Tax Settings page allows individual, business and Public Institution (Kamu idaresi) customers who are located in Türkiye and purchase AWS services to upload their TCKN (T.C. Kimlik Numarası) or VKN (Vergi Kimlik Numarası).

This will ensure that your TRN is displayed on the VAT invoices issued by AWS Turkey to enable you to claim a credit for VAT charged by AWS Turkey, in accordance with your own circumstances, as well as local laws and regulations.

For more information on TRNs please visit Tax Help- Tax Registration Numbers.

If applicable, AWS Turkey also issues valid VAT Invoices, available in the Bills section of the console under the header “Tax Invoices”.

If you have a valid TRN associated with VAT, please visit the Tax Settings page of the AWS Billing Console and confirm or update your details, including your Business Legal Address for all of your account(s). This will ensure that your TRN is displayed on the VAT invoices issued by AWS Turkey, to enable you to claim a credit for VAT charged by AWS Turkey, in accordance with your own circumstances, as well as local laws and regulations.

For information on how to receive a VAT invoice from AWS please visit our Knowledge Centre- How do I get a VAT invoice from AWS?

At the moment of invoicing, AWS determines the location of each individual account, based on certain information, including your TRN, your Billing address and your Contact address. The result of AWS’ determination is shown as the “Tax Address” on the Tax Settings page of each account.

If you have a consolidated billing family, please note that each account is assessed individually: linked accounts do not inherit the Tax Address or the TRN of the payer account.

The payer account can view the Tax Address of all their linked accounts on their own Tax Settings page of each account.

For more information please see Tax Help- Location.
