Silhouet van Turkije
Overzicht

Turkey links Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia, with a big home market, a customs union with the EU and a manufacturing base that's taken on a lot of production moved closer to Europe. Setting up a company is quick and foreigners can own 100%.

Internationally it's best known for citizenship by investment: buy USD 400,000 of property, keep it for three years, and your whole family can get Turkish passports, usually within four to eight months. That passport also opens the door to the US E-2 investor visa.

Turkey usually holds the real operating business: a factory, a sourcing office or a regional headquarters, with local staff and offices easy to find. Company tax is 25% and 10% is kept back on dividends, so the draw is the market, the location and the free zones, not a low rate. Separately, buying USD 400,000 of property and keeping it for three years can give your whole family Turkish citizenship, usually within four to eight months.

Waar het van afhangtIt needs real local operations and good local accountants because special inflation-accounting rules apply, accounts in several currencies because the currency moves a lot, and for citizenship the investment must be kept for three years and is checked by the ministry.

Bankieren

Een bankrekening openen

Garanti BBVA, İş Bankası, Akbank and Yapı Kredi serve businesses and individuals, with dedicated desks for foreign investors. You need a Turkish tax number, and companies need notarised, apostilled company documents. The currency moves a lot, so accounts in several currencies are essential.

Belasting

Zo werkt de belasting hier

25% company tax, more for financial institutions. 10% kept back on dividends. Personal income tax rises to 40%. Free zones offer company tax exemptions on export income. VAT is 20%. Special inflation-accounting rules apply, so you need good local accountants.

Substance (echte aanwezigheid)

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

Company details are public in the Trade Registry Gazette. For citizenship by investment, you must keep the investment for three years, and the relevant ministry checks it. Turkey takes part in the international exchange of tax information (CRS). Building a real presence is easy, because local staff and offices are readily available.
