Turkey tax audit digitalization and AI integration

Overview

Turkey’s Tax Inspection Board (VDK) has introduced new digital and analytical tools to modernize its auditing processes. Initially, the Ministry of Treasury and Finance launched the “İncelemeye Hazırlık Dosyası” (VDK-İHD), a digital application based on OECD methodology. This platform allows taxpayers to view required audit documents, submit information in standardized electronic formats, and make voluntary corrections to improve compliance and shorten audit durations.

Following this, the VDK launched the VDK-MİHENK system, which utilizes artificial intelligence and big data analytics to enhance central risk analysis. While the initial system focused on document preparation and standardization, MİHENK shifts the focus toward detecting complex economic risks. The AI-driven platform analyzes large datasets to identify issues related to transfer pricing and profit shifting by evaluating relationships between costs, sales volumes, and prices across various geographic levels.
