SaaS & Mobile App Accounting

End-to-end accounting and tax advisory for software, game and app businesses earning through the App Store, Google Play, Paddle and Stripe.

Revenue channels

Five channels, five different setups.

Where your revenue comes from decides who invoices whom, how VAT works and when revenue is recognized. This table is the backbone of the service.

Channel	Who pays you	Who you invoice	What we handle
App Store	The Apple entity shown by the agreement and payout report	The contractual counterparty — confirm the current agreement	Report reconciliation, gross/net split, export-service setup, VAT-2 check
Google Play	The Google entity shown by the agreement and payout report	The contractual counterparty — confirm the current agreement	Same discipline: reconciliation, invoicing, VAT setup
Paddle · Lemon Squeezy	The platform in a genuine Merchant of Record product	The platform if the current contract confirms MoR	MoR/agency classification, export-service conditions, payout reconciliation
Stripe · direct export	Your foreign customer (Stripe collects)	The foreign customer	Export invoice discipline, FX and proceeds tracking, deduction eligibility
Domestic sales	Your customer in Turkey	The customer — e-invoice/e-archive	Standard VAT, e-invoice setup, separation from export revenue

Scope

Store and payment-platform revenue does not behave like classic bookkeeping: commission and payout flows in Apple/Google reports, a Paddle or Lemon Squeezy Merchant of Record product and direct customer collection through Stripe are different contract models. This package maps each channel under the agreement in force on the transaction date, builds the invoicing routine and keeps service-export deductions and incentives on the table.

Revenue channel map: App Store, Google Play, Paddle/Lemon Squeezy (Merchant of Record), Stripe/direct exports and domestic sales — who invoices whom, settled per channel
Monthly reconciliation from store reports: gross/net commission split, refunds and FX differences included
VAT setup: service-export exemption, reverse-charge VAT (VAT-2) checks, e-invoice for domestic sales
Eligibility check and calendar for the service-export income deduction and software/game incentives (Technopark, R&D, young-entrepreneur exemption)
IP ownership and NACE code alignment with your revenue type and incentive applications
Full monthly bookkeeping, tax filings and payroll — including developer employment and ESOP advisory

Frequently asked

I sell through Paddle or Lemon Squeezy — who do I invoice?

If the product and the agreement in force genuinely use a Merchant of Record model, the platform sells to the end user and the foreign platform may be your document counterparty. The answer changes where the platform provides only collection or agency services. We reconcile the current agreement, order and payout report in the channel map.

Apple and Google withhold 30% commission — is my revenue gross or net?

Critical question — it drives your VAT base and revenue-recognition timing. The answer depends on the contract model; we build it into the monthly store reconciliation.

Can I use the service-export income deduction?

Software/SaaS services delivered to customers abroad can qualify. We test whether the service is listed in the statute, the customer is foreign, the benefit is used exclusively abroad, the document counterparty is correct and all qualifying earnings are transferred to Turkey by the annual return filing deadline. Eligibility is evidence-based, not guaranteed by the platform name.

Should I stay a sole proprietor or incorporate?

Depends on income level, incentive eligibility, target operating structure and investment plans. The quarterly review puts the tax and compliance cost of that decision in numbers.
