Application of Domestic Minimum Corporate Income Tax in Türkiye Starting from 2025

9 April 2025
The corporate income tax rates (and similar direct taxes) that countries apply to the profits of companies have become increasingly important in recent years, especially with developments under OECD Pillar 2. Indeed, one of the necessary conditions for certain foreign earnings to be exempt from corporate income tax is based on a minimum "effective tax rate," (ETR) which we will pay more attention to in the coming periods than the nominal tax rates. This issue is not only relevant in Türkiye but is also one of the topics under scrutiny by the fiscal administrations of all countries.

In this article, I will discuss the Domestic Minimum Corporate Income Tax that affects all corporate income tax taxpayers in Türkiye for profits earned in 2025 and beyond.

To make it easier to read, I will proceed in a question-and-answer format; however, let me first emphasize a key point: If you declare your profits through a corporate income tax return and benefit from deductions, exemptions, and carry forward tax losses in your tax return, I particularly suggest you to read this article as the application will affect you.
