Frequently
Asked Questions

Türkiye has approved a regime under which qualifying new tax residents pay zero tax on genuinely foreign-source income for up to twenty years. Only income generated inside Türkiye is taxed. The structure must be set up correctly: residency must be established the right way, foreign-source income must be properly documented, and a compliant CPA must file annually. We verify eligibility and operate the structure with you — we are not a tax firm, but we work with vetted CPAs who specialize in this regime.

The core test is straightforward: you must have lived abroad and have not been a Turkish tax resident in the last three years. If that's true, and your income is genuinely earned outside Türkiye, you are within scope. We verify your status formally during the briefing — before you commit to anything — and we'll tell you honestly if the regime doesn't fit your situation.

This is one of the most under-discussed advantages of the regime. For qualifying residents, the inheritance-by-succession tax rate is set at one percent. By comparison: France 45–60%, Germany 30–50%, UK 40%, Spain 7.65–34%. For families building or transferring multi-generational wealth, this is often a larger long-term advantage than the income tax exemption itself. We coordinate with estate-planning counsel on your behalf.

Strong fit. Foreign-sourced earnings from software, engineering, architecture and similar export services are now fully exempt from Turkish income and corporate tax for qualifying residents — moved from a previous 80% exemption to a 100% exemption. We help structure your foreign company or freelance setup so the exemption is clean, defensible, and audit-ready.

Location-independent professionals, founders with foreign-incorporated companies, capital-rich European families, Gulf and post-Soviet families already considering Türkiye as a base, industrial families looking at the new 9% manufacturing-exporter corporate rate, and high-net-worth heads of household planning estate transfer under the 1% inheritance regime. If your income is genuinely earned outside Türkiye and you can establish bona fide residency here, the window applies to you.

No. Every Turkish-language interaction — notary, bank, school, doctor, contractor, immigration office — is handled by your bilingual case manager. You speak English, Arabic or Russian; we translate and operate. Most of our clients never learn beyond restaurant Turkish.

USD or EUR, your choice. You are never exposed to Lira on our invoice. Where third parties must be paid in Lira (utilities, government fees, contractors) we settle and report the FX rate transparently on your monthly statement.

We only source from a vetted list of post-2018 code-compliant buildings with independent structural audits and insurance verified. If a property fails our quake-rating review, we will tell you — even if the agent is pushing it hard. Safety overrides commission.

Yes. Upgrade, downgrade or cancel any month — changes take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. No annual lock-in, no hidden fees. We earn the engagement every month.

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit, hosted on infrastructure we operate, and never shared without your explicit consent. We comply with Turkish KVKK and operate with GDPR-equivalent practices for European clients.

We track tax and immigration policy monthly and brief you in writing if anything moves. Your structure is reviewed annually with our partner CPA. If a rule changes that affects you, you hear it from us first — and we present options before you have to act.
