What is a Tax Certificate Used For?

A Tax Certificate is a document that shows the income amounts and corresponding tax amounts on which the tax assessment is based, in a format determined by the Ministry of Finance. According to article 82 of Law No. 6111, "owners and taxpayers are required to display the certificate in a place that is easily visible and readable at their centers, branches, and retail stores." The part of the article that requires displaying the certificate was later removed. According to the relevant law, taxpayers must obtain this document by the end of May each year.
