Within the scope of changes to the Law No. 7524, some new rules were brought about credit card and debit card use. Now, if the taxpayers accept payments via POS devices or similar devices that are not registered to their names for sale or service delivery, they will be punished to those who have used these taxpayers and devices. This penalty will be applied as a 3x private irregularity penalty for each transaction and will not pass 20 million TL in a calendar year.
This new arrangement was made in order to avoid non-registration transactions using payment tools such as credit card and debit card. So, it is aimed to prevent other taxpayers or non-payers from being charged with POS devices.
Mükellefler is concerned that they will not take penalties when they use their POS devices to their dealers or sub dealers. As long as the physical or virtual POS devices provided by banks are used to dealers or sub dealers, they do not have problems, unless it is appropriate to banking regulations. However, when doing these operations, document editing needs to save harvests and fulfill other obligations in complete and timely.
Another wondered topic is that the cardholder who pays with the customer in the purchase of goods or services will not apply penalties in case of different persons. In this case, there is no importance that the card owner who pays, and therefore the punishment does not apply.
