Courier

This topic is the situation of a courier who works through a platform. The general document list for a sole proprietorship is under companies. Which screen VAT uses in Ankara is under tax. The question here is more specific: how the courier opens, who the invoice is issued to, and where VAT and Bağ-Kur sit during the month.

Courier work is not its own company type. It can be a sole proprietorship, a limited company or a joint-stock company. In practice most people open a sole proprietorship. The two guides describe that case. One is the opening. The other is the tax during the month. They do not replace each other. A courier who has already opened still has questions about commission, fuel and the premium.

Who you invoice is written in the platform contract. “I invoiced the courier company” is not the same legal name on every platform. Fuel, the phone and maintenance are deductible only with a document that belongs to you. Someone else’s slip is not your expense. The tax guide gives the examples. Here we only draw the line.

The guides in this topic

• How to open a courier sole proprietorship. Documents, timing and the invoice pattern when you work with a platform.
• Courier taxes. VAT, expenses that can be deducted, and Bağ-Kur. There is no sentence that says a courier pays one fixed amount of tax.

The opening papers are company formation. The return and the premium after that are courier accounting. If you are already insured in another job, the Bağ-Kur question does not close itself with “no”. That split is in the tax guide.
