Expatriate Forums in Turkey

Dear All,

First of all, as a Turkish citizen I wish you a nice and joyful period in our country.

I would like to remind you that, 25 March 2010 is the deadline for filing and accrual of Annual Personal Income Tax Returns to tax offices. Every type of incomes gained in FY2009 should be declared with a tax return to the government. Those incomes are wages, proffessional income, income from trading activities, all type of capital gains (F/X, stock market,T-Bonds etc), rental income, income from copyright, royalties and all types of gains from buying and selling activities.

Please note that;

1- You may have to declare your GLOBAL INCOME per to your residency status! (Incomes gained both in your country/a country apart from Turkey and Turkey)

2- You can only deduct a CALCULATED amount of taxes paid in your country/another country apart from Turkey from the tax which will be paid in Turkey!

3-Expats working in consulates should be very careful as consulates CANNOT make witholding from wages per to Turkish tax laws, you HAVE TO declare your wage income with a tax return!

Regarding those issues, We can help you with you with;

i) determining your residency status,
ii) gathering information about your income elements,
iii) preparing your tax return and
iv) accrual and payment (upon request) of your tax return to tax office.

You can check our website www(dot)globalresolutions(dot)net for getting detailed information about our us and our other services.

Nice to meet you.
Kind Regards
Ozgur
