Advice in your language
Law 7582 (Income Tax Law, repeated Art. 20/D) exempts new residents from Turkish income tax for 20 years — exclusively on foreign-source income. Anyone promising you "completely tax-free" is not telling you the whole truth.
Remote income from a foreign company: whether it qualifies as foreign-source income depends on your individual case — we examine this in the eligibility check together with our SMMM partners.
Requirements include: taking up residence from 1 January 2026 and having had neither residence nor income tax liability in Türkiye in the previous 3 calendar years. Sources: Law 7582 (Official Gazette, 4 June 2026), Communiqué Serial No. 333 (4 July 2026). This is general information, not tax or legal advice — binding assessment by our licensed SMMM partners.

Three steps from your first assessment to your new life in Türkiye — with clear responsibilities at every stage.
Eligibility check (€129) or initial consultation (€199, fully credited when you book a package) — you learn what applies to you and which deadlines matter.
Relocation, business setup, call center buildout or Varlık Barışı — we coordinate every step; licensed SMMM tax advisors and lawyers deliver the regulated work in their own name.
Deadline reminders, tax coordination and a personal contact — for as long as the 20-year exemption on your foreign income runs.
One point of contact, a network of licensed experts, clear processes — and honesty instead of marketing promises.
The application for the İstisna Belgesi (exemption certificate) is due by the end of the year you relocate — if you relocate in November or December, by the end of February of the following year. Missing the deadline forfeits the exemption entirely. We keep track of it for you.
Tax returns, bookkeeping and legal advice are provided by our SMMM tax advisors and lawyers in their own name. We advise, coordinate and refer.
We explain transparently what is exempt and what is not — and we give no guarantees of success. The tax office decides.
German, Turkish, English — from the first conversation to the authorities on site.
Clear answers on the 20-year exemption, deadlines, our role and prices.
