Foreign-source income, exempt for up to twenty years. A 1% inheritance regime. A single coordinated office for residency, work permits, tax and corporate filings. Here is what's open, who qualifies, and the four honest catches we won't pretend don't exist.
Türkiye has approved up to twenty years of zero tax on foreign-source income for qualifying new tax residents. Alongside it: a one-percent inheritance regime, an exemption for repatriated overseas assets, and a single coordinated office handling residency, work permits, tax and corporate filings.
A country known for its coastline, its cuisine and its airport is now a serious destination for location-independent families and capital-rich Europeans. Twenty years of compounding under modern tax policy is a rare gift. We don't sell the regime; we operate it for you — quietly, in writing, in English.
Foreign-source income earned by qualifying new residents is exempt from Turkish tax for up to twenty years. Only income generated inside Türkiye is taxed.
You qualify if you have lived abroad and have not been a Turkish tax resident in the last three years. We verify your status before you commit.
For qualifying residents, the inheritance-by-succession rate is set at one percent — versus 30–55% across most of Western Europe. A material reason families relocate now.
A family entering in 2026 compounds twenty years. A family entering in 2030 compounds sixteen. The window is open; the math is unforgiving.
Türkiye is not perfect. The 20-year window is real, but so are the catches. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you a brochure. Here are the four honest ones — and how we solve each.
The Turkish Lira lost ~85% against USD/EUR in five years. Property rents in expat districts are increasingly quoted in USD anyway.
Your invoices, our payouts, and our partner contracts are denominated in USD or EUR. We keep your wealth in hard currency. Lira touches your life only where it must — utilities, groceries, taxis.
Türkiye sits on active faults. Istanbul has known building-stock issues, and not every "luxury" tower meets modern code.
We only source from a vetted list of quake-rated buildings — post-2018 code, independent structural audit, insurance verified. We say no to addresses we wouldn't recommend to our own families.
Daily life in Türkiye still happens largely in Turkish — schools, hospitals, courts, banks, utilities. English fluency is uneven.
A bilingual case manager handles every Turkish-language interaction on your behalf. Notary, bank, school, doctor, contractor — we sit in the room or take the call. You speak English (or Arabic, or Russian).
Türkiye is a hybrid regime with real political concerns. Even with the 20-year window now officially legislated, tax rules, residency rules and capital controls can shift over a two-decade horizon.
We track regulatory and policy changes monthly and brief you in writing. Your structure is reviewed annually with a senior CPA, with a grandfathering analysis built into every engagement. If rules change, you hear it from us first — with options on the table.
