The exact wording, by tax treatment

When no tax is charged, the invoice has to say why — in the words the law names. Each is linked to the statute or tax authority it was read from.

The format, and who sends it

Turkey runs a clearance / registration platform, so issuing the legal document is a step the seller's own system takes.
