Kolay Fatura (Easy Invoice) is made for self-employed taxpayers in Turkey who don’t use an accounting program and only want to issue invoices. The invoice is not created in TEON but on the e-Archive Portal of the Revenue Administration (GİB); Kolay Fatura is a simple screen used instead of that portal. It is easy to use on a phone and has no menus.
How an invoice is issued
- You sign in with your TEON account. Your GİB user code and password are saved once, the first time.
- You tap New Invoice. Type the buyer’s tax or ID number and tap Get Details; the name comes from GİB. If the buyer is a private person, Final Consumer is chosen.
- You type the goods or service. Products saved in Kolay Fatura Products are suggested as you type; the price and VAT rate fill in by themselves.
- You tap Send for Approval. The invoice opens as a draft at GİB.
- GİB sends an SMS code to your phone. Type the code and tap Confirm; the invoice becomes an official e-Archive invoice.
What you can issue
- Sales invoice
- Return invoice, with the number and date of the returned invoice
- Withholding invoice, with the withholding code chosen from a list
The VAT rate is 20%, 10% or 1%. Prices can be entered with or without VAT; line amounts and VAT are calculated to the cent. Tax and ID numbers are checked before the invoice is sent.

Kolay Fatura does not keep stock or customer accounts; invoices stay at GİB. For a business that also wants stock, accounts and cash, there is TEON Ticari.
Who can use it
Self-employed taxpayers in Turkey who are not registered for e-Invoice. GİB’s e-Archive Portal does not accept companies registered for e-Invoice; they issue e-Invoices and e-Archive invoices from the sales invoice screen in TEON Ticari. Kolay Fatura can be bought on its own, without any other TEON product.
