Setting Up a Company in Turkey: A Practical Guide
If you’re considering setting up a company in Turkey, there are a few things you need to know. As an experienced real estate broker, I have helped many foreign customers set up companies for real estate purposes in Turkey. In this article, I will share my practical experiences and give you a comprehensive guide to the process of setting up a company in Turkey, including the types of companies, the steps involved, the need for a company for real estate purchasing, and the tax regulations.
Types of Companies
First and foremost, let’s take a look at the different types of companies you can establish in Turkey. The most popular types are Individual Company, Limited Company, and Joint-Stock Company.
Individual companies are the easiest to establish and have lower costs but come with the risk of personal liability for the partners. On the other hand, Limited Companies are the most popular choice and offer limited liability for the shareholders. Joint-Stock Companies are similar to Limited Companies but with different rules, a higher capital commitment, and additional requirements such as a board of directors and a company lawyer.
Steps for Setting Up a Company in Turkey
Setting up a company in Turkey involves several steps that you need to follow. First, you need to agree with a freelance accountant to be responsible for your company books. Then, you need to define the company name, type of business, and other relevant details with the assistance of your accountant.
Other steps include obtaining a Personal tax number, translating your passport into Turkish, securing a residence permit, having a physical address for your company, and signing the start-up documents in the trade office. If you opt for a Joint-Stock company, additional steps such as depositing the capital commitment and hiring a company lawyer are required.
Why You May Need a Company for real estate Purchasing
There are several reasons why having a company can be beneficial for real estate purchasing in Turkey. For instance, if you’re looking to generate short-term rental income through platforms like Airbnb, having a company allows you to legally invoice your guests. Additionally, as a foreigner, you can register farmland in your company’s name and buy and sell multiple real estates without the restrictions that apply to individuals.
Tax Regulations
Finally, it’s important to understand the tax regulations associated with having a company in Turkey. This includes Value Added Tax (VAT), withholding tax, and income tax. Understanding your tax responsibilities is essential to ensure compliance and optimize your tax efficiency.
In conclusion, setting up a company in Turkey can offer numerous benefits, especially for real estate purchasing. Whether you’re considering the different types of companies, the steps involved, the advantages of having a company for real estate, or the tax regulations, it’s essential to seek professional advice and guidance to navigate the process effectively.
