VEDOP Export Declaration Tracking Services

Statutory Scope & Legal Architecture

Under Turkish Value Added Tax (KDV) Law No. 3065 Article 11, export deliveries of commercial goods are exempt from VAT, allowing exporters to claim substantial cash refunds (KDV İadesi) or offset taxes against future liabilities. However, the legal prerequisite for this tax refund is that the export declaration must be electronically registered as 'Çıkış Yapıldı' (Physically Departed) and synchronized with the Revenue Administration's (Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı - GİB) VEDOP automation network.

Often, due to vessel delay, port terminal clerical oversights, or road border customs transmission lags, declarations remain open (Açık Beyanname) or fail to receive the formal Intac (İntaç) date. This brings immediate tax office audits and suspends VAT refund payments. Topraklar’s Dedicated VEDOP Audit Unit bridges the operational gap between border customs posts and your corporate finance department.

Key Operational Competencies:

• Automated VEDOP Status Inquiries: Synchronizing daily with the Ministry of Trade and Revenue Administration APIs to provide real-time notification the second an export declaration closes.
• Intac (Actual Export Date) Certification: Confirming the definitive Intac date to ensure accounting entries match the exact VAT taxation period (vergilendirme dönemi).
• Correction of Border Transmission Errors: Liaising directly with border exit customs directorates (Kapıkule, Hamzabeyli, Sarp, Ambarlı, Mersin) to resolve untransmitted exit manifests.
• Tax Office Discrepancy Reconciliation: Supplying sworn customs broker verification reports for Sworn Financial Advisors (YMM) preparing the official VAT refund report (KDV İadesi Tasdik Raporu).
