Indirect Taxes- Any business investing, or setting up shop in Turkey is subjected to indirect taxes. These taxes differ from country to country, hence giving Turkey its own set of laws. This creates new Regulatory Challenges for businesses. We provide the following services to manage Indirect Taxes:

• Indirect tax strategies that manage the impact of these taxes on the company’s financials, risk portfolio, and organization.

Transfer Pricing- All inter company pricing arrangements, with regards to transactions between related business entities, fall under Transfer Pricing. These can include the transfer of Intellectual Property, Tangible Goods, Services, Loans and other financial transactions. Due to the rapid rise of multinational trade, the interest in Transfer Pricing Agreements has seen a sudden rise. Needless to say, without professional services taking care of these agreements for a business, these can be viewed as tricky waters for any and all businesses.

We at TCF Turkey keep these laws under intense scrutiny so that we can serve our clients with reliable information and help them navigate through this tricky section of doing business.
