The agreements between Türkiye and Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are intended to prevent the same income from being taxed in two countries at once. Which country holds the right to tax is determined according to the type of income and the provisions of the agreement. We ensure that these provisions are applied correctly in your cross-border transactions.
Non-compliance with the convocation procedure, the agenda, the quorum requirements, or the law may cause the resolutions adopted to be challenged in court with a request for their annulment. The risk of annulment results in a loss of both time and reputation. By structuring the process in a legally compliant manner from the outset, we minimise this risk.
When the documents are prepared in full and the required certifications are completed, the registration process can generally be concluded in a short time. The timeline may vary in cases that require foreign document certification, apostille, and translation. By planning the process from the outset, we keep delays to a minimum.
After incorporation, obligations begin such as the certification of statutory books, tax office and SGK (Social Security Institution) procedures, the accounting order and periodic tax-return obligations. Through our corporate secretarial services, we coordinate accounting, payroll, and tax compliance so that your company operates in compliance with the legislation from day one.
During the handover, we take over the existing ledgers, opening balances, and personnel data using a structured checklist. By planning the transition period, we prevent data loss and interruption. In this way, operations continue in an orderly manner from the very first month.
We continuously monitor changes in tax, social security (SGK), and labour law legislation and assess their impact on your operations in advance. By implementing the necessary adjustments in good time, we prevent the risk of non-compliance. In this way, your company remains continuously compliant with the changing rules.
Accounting and payroll are closely intertwined with tax, social security (SGK), and labour law obligations. Handling both processes from a single source increases data consistency and reduces the risk of discrepancies. By also coordinating them with tax compliance under the corporate secretarial umbrella, we keep the whole operation running as one.
Under the Turkish Commercial Code, the ordinary general assembly of joint-stock and limited liability companies must be convened within the statutory period following the end of each financial year. At this meeting, matters such as the financial statements, the annual report, and profit distribution are discussed. By planning the schedule from the outset, we prevent the liability risks that would arise from exceeding the deadline.
An extraordinary general assembly is convened in situations that require urgent or out-of-cycle resolutions, such as an amendment to the articles of association, a capital increase, or a change in management. The convocation, agenda, and quorum requirements must be conducted with the same diligence as at an ordinary general assembly. We manage every procedural step to safeguard the validity of the process.
Notifications of the commencement and termination of employment, together with the monthly premium and service declarations, must be filed within the statutory time limits set out in the legislation. Exceeding these limits gives rise to the risk of an administrative fine. By closely monitoring the notification schedule, we ensure that obligations are fulfilled on time.
A branch is a structure that can conduct commercial activity and generate income on behalf of the parent company. A liaison office, by contrast, cannot directly earn commercial income in Türkiye; it is usually established for purposes such as market research, representation, and coordination. We determine together which one suits your objectives.
Who will represent the company, within what scope, and with what form of signature is determined by a resolution of the management body and registered with the trade registry. The signature circular documents this authority. Because delay in registering changes to this authority may affect the validity of transactions, we monitor the registration process meticulously.
During the audit, it is critical that documents are prepared completely and consistently and that the process is conducted in accordance with proper procedure. A sound strategy at an early stage can narrow the scope of any potential disputes. From document preparation through to representation, we are by your side throughout the process.
Tax compliance is a continuous process focused on fulfilling obligations accurately and on time. Tax planning, by contrast, aims to establish the most appropriate structure within the framework of the legislation. We coordinate both dimensions in an integrated manner with accounting and legal processes.
Yes. Tax compliance can be carried out in an integrated manner with our accounting and payroll services within the scope of corporate secretarial work. This integration improves data consistency and streamlines filing processes. Single-point coordination delivers both compliance and predictability.
Turkish law grants foreign investors largely the same conditions as domestic investors. A joint-stock company (A.Ş.) or a limited liability company (Ltd. Şti.) with foreign shareholders can be established; alternatively, a branch or a liaison office may be preferred. We carry out document certification, apostille, and power-of-attorney processes on a multilingual basis.
Shareholders located abroad may attend meetings in person, or they may be represented by a duly executed power of attorney. In multinational shareholding structures, we manage the proxy, certification, and translation processes on a multilingual basis. In this way, geographical distance poses no obstacle to the validity of resolutions.
Yes. We prepare multilingual and comparable periodic reports in the format required by the head office or shareholders in the DACH region. This ensures that compliance with local legislation and the head office's reporting expectations are met within a single framework.
In cross-border transactions, transfer pricing, withholding tax, and the interpretation of treaty provisions are the principal risk areas. Incorrect application may give rise to double taxation or penal sanctions. By analysing these areas in advance, we build a predictable and defensible structure.
