Tax Law Consulting

Tax matters that call for a written scope first

Tax questions connected to Turkey often involve more than compliance paperwork: determining Turkish tax residency under the 183-day rule, applying a double taxation treaty, responding to a tax audit (vergi incelemesi), or objecting to a tax assessment (vergi/ceza ihbarnamesi). FTurkey's tax law consulting helps foreign residents, investors and businesses understand what a specific tax situation involves in Turkey and connects them with the right professionals. This service does not constitute legal or tax advice; tax return preparation is handled by a licensed Turkish certified public accountant (mali müşavir), and legal opinions, settlement negotiations (uzlaşma) and representation before tax courts (vergi mahkemesi) are handled by independent licensed Turkish tax attorneys.

Describe your tax situation

Share the assessment, audit notice or planning question at the centre of the matter: the tax type involved, the tax office (vergi dairesi) or auditor concerned, relevant dates, and any deadline stated on a document you received. For a residency or double taxation question, note your countries of tax residence, the income types involved, and whether a treaty between Turkey and the other country is relevant. For a business, include the entity type and accounting period concerned.

Coordination with independent licensed tax professionals

Depending on the matter, FTurkey can coordinate an introduction to an independent licensed Turkish certified public accountant for compliance and filing matters, or to a tax attorney for legal opinions, settlement negotiations, or litigation before the tax courts. The engaged professional, not FTurkey, prepares filings, issues opinions, negotiates with the tax administration, and represents you in proceedings. FTurkey's coordination role includes organising your documents, translating factual summaries, and following up on communication between you and the professional.

Practical support within the agreed scope

Within an agreed written scope, FTurkey can help organise financial and corporate documents for a professional's review, prepare a factual chronology of a tax matter, and track correspondence with the tax administration such as information requests. Support for straightforward compliance matters — for example, gathering documents for an annual filing — can be scoped separately from a contested audit or assessment that requires legal representation.

Timelines and procedural deadlines

Objection periods, settlement application windows, and court filing deadlines in tax matters are set by Turkish tax law and the relevant authority, not by FTurkey. Missing a deadline can result in an assessment becoming final and enforceable, so any matter with a stated deadline should be shared as early as possible, together with the underlying notice.

Scope boundaries

FTurkey is a consulting and coordination company, not a tax office, accounting firm or law firm. Tax filings, opinions and representation are the responsibility of the independent licensed professional you engage directly. FTurkey's fees, deliverables and role are defined in a written scope agreed before work begins; a routine compliance matter that becomes a contested audit or dispute may require revising that scope.

Request a proposal

Request a quote describing your tax situation, relevant dates and deadlines, and your preferred language for a certified public accountant or tax attorney. FTurkey can then propose a written scope and, where appropriate, coordinate an introduction to independent tax professionals.
