Invoice Certifications

Invoices issued for goods not included in the construction works price lists announced annually by the Ministry of Public Works and Settlement for state construction works are certified for compliance with the prevailing prices as of their dates.

Invoices requested to be certified are received with a petition and the description and characteristics of the materials fully processed on the invoice. It is checked whether the invoices brought for certification are issued by firms within our Chamber's jurisdiction according to the TOBB Transactions Regulation and the Public Procurement Law. For invoices related to official purchases not included in the Ministry of Public Works and Settlement Construction and Installation Unit Prices booklet or within the scope of special manufacturing, market research is conducted. The average of at least three prices obtained, which are close to each other, is taken. The determined price is accepted as the prevailing price of that material and compared with the invoice prices. If the prevailing prices are above or the same as the invoice prices, the invoice is approved. If the invoice prices are below, no action is taken on the invoice, and it is returned. If there are not enough enterprises for price determination, the process is carried out based on the opinion of the relevant professional committee or the report of experts to be appointed by the board of directors from the expert lists if necessary. For certified invoices, the company representative deposits the invoice certification fee at the Accounting Directorate cashier. The original of the completed invoice is given to the requesting company, and copies are taken to be kept in our Chamber's archive.

If the invoice requested to be certified is issued for a job requiring special manufacturing, a sample of the work must be attached to the invoice. If this is not possible, an explanation showing the technical specifications of the work, pictures, and similar documents must be attached to the invoice.

Proforma invoices and invoices issued to determine unit prices are not approved as the purchase and sale contract has not been legally realized. However, if the entire job is specified in the invoices issued to determine unit prices, these invoices can be approved. Additionally, invoices issued only for assembly labor or transportation costs and invoices issued including material price, labor, transportation, and assembly costs are not approved as they do not allow the application of price determination procedures.

The certification of invoices is carried out by the chamber or branch where the seller and the issuer of the invoice are located.
