Frequently asked

Do you guarantee outcomes?

No. "Guaranteed savings" or "guaranteed outcomes" claims by Turkish CPAs are prohibited under TÜRMOB advertising rules. We work with scenario modelling and written opinions instead.

What is the most common optimisation for foreign investors?

Structure choice (A.Ş./Ltd./branch), Technopark/R&D incentives, the 100% service-export exemption, and transfer-pricing documentation — these four axes cover most optimisation work.
