Abstract:

Taxes are collected by the government for the finance of public services either directly or indirectly by adding them to the prices of some goods or services. Value Added Tax (VAT) is one of the indirect taxes. In VAT, taxpayers are not the final bearer of the tax but are the intermediary agencies who collects the tax from the final consumer on behalf of the government. This tax is a type of tax that is rapidly spreading and maintaining its importance all over the world. In Turkey, many types of taxes are changed over time. VAT is also among the taxes that are needed to make these changes by the time of progress.
