Step-by-step conveyancing and procedure stages

Initial review of your tax position

We map your structure, where your income arises, your residency or PE status, and any deadline you are facing, then tell you plainly where you stand under Turkish law.

Scope, tax ID and power of attorney

We fix the scope of work, arrange a Turkish tax identification number where needed, and prepare a power of attorney so we can act for you remotely before GİB and the courts.

Structuring, treaty and compliance analysis

We analyse corporate tax, VAT, withholding, transfer pricing and treaty relief, and flag the minimum-tax and PE issues before they become liabilities.

Filing and managing the audit

We prepare or review filings, respond to GİB requests, and manage the audit (vergi incelemesi) so your position is presented clearly and on time.

Reconciliation or tax-court filing

Where an assessment or penalty arises, we pursue reconciliation (uzlaşma) to reduce it, or file suit in the tax court within the statutory period if litigation is the better route.

Resolution, appeal and ongoing support

We see the matter through settlement, judgment or appeal before the Danıştay, and stay on for recurring filings and questions as they arise.

Critical statutory deadlines and calendar windows

The clock that matters

30 daysTo file suit in the tax court against a tax assessment or penalty - Idari Yargilama Usulu Kanunu No. 2577, Art. 7. Choosing reconciliation (uzlasma) under VUK No. 213 suspends the litigation clock; letting the window pass without acting makes the assessment final and collectible.

What to prepare

Before your first consultation, and before any cross-border payment goes out, it helps to have the following ready or checked.

A description of your structure: the Turkish entity or branch, the foreign parent, and where each stream of income actually arises.
Any audit notice (vergi incelemesi), assessment or penalty you have received, with the date it reached you - the 30-day tax-court period runs from that point.
The date of any payment about to go to a non-resident (royalties, technical or professional services, interest, rent, dividends), so the correct withholding rate can be mapped before the invoice is issued.
A certificate of tax residence from the recipient's home country, apostilled and translated where required, if a treaty rate is to be claimed.
Your related-party dealings and the transfer-pricing documentation supporting them, including the annual related-party report.
The documentation behind any VAT exemption you are relying on, particularly service-export and zero-rating claims.
A power of attorney drafted with the right scope - including tax-litigation authority - notarised abroad, apostilled and translated, so nothing stalls while a fresh document is prepared.
