Question 1

What do I need to do to start using the e-Ledger solution?

Accepted Answer

Companies that want to use the e-Ledger should first submit a written application to the Revenue Administration. Following the approval of the application, the Financial Seal or the Electronic Certificate is uploaded to the system. This is followed by the upload of the Time Stamp program from the Public Certification Center website, after which the Logo e-Ledger Solution can be used. The latest version of Java must be installed to be able to use the e-Ledger.

Question 2

Who can use the e-ledger?

Accepted Answer

The Logo e-Ledger application provides solutions for the requirements of companies that not only use the Logo ERP solutions but also those that are not Logo users. In addition, Real and Legal Persons keeping their books based on balance sheets can benefit from the e-Ledger application.

Question 3

Are businesses voluntarily transitioning to e-Invoice and e-Archive Invoice obliged to use e-Ledger?

Accepted Answer

​Businesses that voluntarily start using e-Invoice are not required to use e-Ledger. However, for businesses mandated to use e-Invoice, the transition requirements for e-Ledger apply just as they do for e-Invoice obligation.​

Question 4

What is a timestamp in the e-Ledger application and why is it used?

Accepted Answer

​A timestamp is a type of certificate that, similar to a digital seal, indicates that the signed data file is signed according to universal time and is immutable. It is used to prove the time period in which the e-Ledger was prepared.

Question 5

Should accounting records be sent to the Revenue Administration with the e-Ledger application?

Accepted Answer

​The Revenue Administration only receives the certificate or certificates with fiscal seals related to the relevant e-Ledger. Accounting records in the e-Ledger are not sent to the Revenue Administration.​

Question 6

Can transition to the e-Ledger application be made during the accounting period?

Accepted Answer

​Transition can be made. However, those who start keeping e-Ledger within the accounting period or calendar year must obtain the closing certification of the physical ledgers they kept within one month following the start date.​

Question 7

Can both physical and electronic ledgers be kept simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

​It is not possible to keep two types of ledgers simultaneously. According to the information provided in General Communique No. 1 on Electronic Ledgers, businesses that transfer their ledgers to digital media cannot continue to keep physical ledgers simultaneously.​

Question 8

Which ledgers are covered by e-Ledger?

Accepted Answer

The journals used by businesses, known as the "yevmiye defteri" (daily journal) and the "defter-i kebir" (general ledger), are covered by the e-Ledger system.

Question 9

What is an e-Ledger certificate?

Accepted Answer

​An e-Ledger certificate is the signing of a summary of the e-Ledger with a fiscal seal and its declaration to the Revenue Administration by the taxpayer. Subsequently, the Revenue Administration seals this summary of the e-Ledger and returns it to the taxpayer. Thus, the approved e-Ledgers by the Revenue Administration are kept on record.​

Question 10

Is there a specific order for sending e-Ledger certificates for branches?

Accepted Answer

​The sequence of sending e-Ledger certificates for branches is significant. Businesses with branch structures are required to send the e-Ledger certificate of the headquarters first. Additionally, before sending the e-Ledger certificates of all branches, the subsequent period certificate of the headquarters should not be sent. Failure to adhere to this sequence may result in the Revenue Administration not accepting the e-Ledger certificates of previous period branches.
