The aim of this study is to examine the accounting and taxation practices in e-commerce in depth.
In this context, accounting and taxation practices in e-commerce and the main problems encountered in these issues are discussed.
E-commerce has become very common today due to the development of information technologies and has begun to be used intensively, similar to traditional commerce.
Although it provides a lot of convenience in the functioning of businesses, customers and even government affairs, there are also a wide variety of problems that e-commerce has revealed. In particular, it is difficult to determine who the taxpayer is, to determine the goods or services sold, many issues concerning a wide range of accounting and taxation, such as the difficulty of determining who will pay VAT, have emerged with the spread of e-commerce
applications. With the developments in technology, states continue to work on levying, accruing and collecting taxes and finding the appropriate method.
However, although there are no significant differences in accounting, it is anticipated that the problems experienced in terms of tax types will continue as technology develops and new ideas emerge, as are also discussed in the application examples examined within the scope of this study.
