Tax refund in subject of the value added tax witholding process, the difficulties and a practise

Republic of Turkey put into force the Value Added Tax as of 1985 as a practice that can be described as a large-scale reform. 8 individual indirect taxes that had been in force until 1985 were abolished, and instead the Value Added Tax came into force as of 01.01.1985. Stoppage is the institution based on 9. article of Value Added Tax with Taxpayer title, and describes the practice of tax process carried out by people responsible from tax and payment to payee tax office on behalf of the taxpayer. Ministry of Finance has issued many general notices on VAT Stoppage until today. "Value Added Tax General Practice Notice" that came into effect and abolished all previous general notices and unified them under one notice, and widely explains how and at what rates VAT Stoppage shall be applied. In our study, after an extensive explanation about Value Added Tax, we have tried to evaluate tax liabilities in scope of VAT, the place of stoppage in scope of our tax laws, opinions for and against the application of stoppage in addition to full and partial stoppage institutions in scope of our VAT, in many aspects. Two case studies about the VAT return related to processes subject to partial stoppage were investigated to bring light to the subject.
