Revenue threshold tracking and a monthly payment summary
Most motorcycle couriers delivering food, groceries and parcels must be registered taxpayers and issue an invoice every month to get paid by the platform or courier company. At Ankara Muhasebeci we handle the full financial side for couriers, from sole-trader registration to monthly filings.
We check up front whether you qualify for advantages such as the small-trader exemption or the young entrepreneur exemption, and warn you early when your situation changes.
Who is it for?
Motorcycle couriers delivering through platforms, riders working for a courier company with their own bike, and anyone couriering as a side job. If this is your first business we set it up from scratch; if you are coming from another accountant we manage the handover.
How we work
Intro call: We learn which platform you work with, your expected monthly earnings and your situation, and pick the best setup.
Registration: We prepare the tax office registration, activity code and e-Archive invoicing, and send you the documents the platform asks for.
Monthly routine: You send invoices and receipts via WhatsApp; we file every return on time.
Summary: Each month we tell you the tax and premiums due in advance and warn you as you approach the revenue threshold.
Questions about this service
Do I need to register a business as a courier?
Most platforms require an invoice to pay you, which means you need to be a registered taxpayer. If you meet the conditions you may work under the small-trader exemption instead. We clarify which suits you in the first call.
Is there a tax exemption for couriers?
Couriers working through digital platforms may use the small-trader exemption as long as their annual revenue stays under the legal threshold. The threshold is updated every year and exceeding it moves you to regular taxation; we track it for you.
Can I deduct my motorcycle, fuel and maintenance costs?
Under regular taxation, documented business expenses such as fuel, maintenance, equipment and phone can be deducted, and the motorcycle itself is expensed through depreciation. We tell you which receipts to keep from day one.
