Tax/Taxation

Foreign nationals are taxed in Turkey on income obtained from renting a property in Turkey and are liable to several other property-related taxes outlined below. The tax year in Turkey is the calendar year.

Turkey has many double taxation agreements with different countries around the world. If there is a double taxation agreement (DTA) between your country and The Republic of Turkey, for the avoidance of double taxation, and the prevention of fiscal evasion concerning taxes on income and capital gains, then you only pay tax in Turkey, you need proof of payment, so you don't have to declare and pay the tax when you transfer the money back to your country.

REAL ESTATE CAPITAL GAIN TAX

Real Estate Capital Gains Tax will have to be paid if you sell your property within 5 years of purchase.

If you have taken out a mortgage to finance your property, the interest payments and other expenses will be included in the value of the property.

The tax is calculated by:

  • Adding onto the purchase price of the property, the annual inflation cost. This cost is then deducted from the sale price of your property.

  • looking at the balance, if this is higher than the Government allowance declared each year.
