About this tool
Under Turkish Income Tax Law art. 20/B, profits from social content creation and mobile app development are exempt from income tax if revenue is paid into a dedicated account at a Turkish bank and total yearly profit does not exceed the legal limit; the bank withholds tax on amounts paid in. If profit exceeds the limit, the exemption is lost for the year, the whole profit is declared and the withholding is credited against the tax. The tool calculates both cases.
How to use
- Enter the gross amount paid into the dedicated account during the year.
- Enter related expenses; the limit is checked against profit (revenue − expenses).
- Press Calculate.
Notes
The limit, withholding rate and tariff are kept with yearly effective dates. Withholding is on the gross amount, the limit is checked against profit. "Exemption applies" shows 1 for yes and 0 for no. When exceeded, the non-wage tariff is applied to profit.
Frequently asked questions
No. The exemption is lost for that year and the whole profit is declared; the bank withholding is credited.
