In Turkey’s dynamic and competitive business world, one of the most crucial topics for entrepreneurs who want to realize their investments and grow is undoubtedly the Investment Incentive Certificate. This powerful support mechanism, offered by the state, can put you one step ahead of your competitors by increasing the efficiency of your investment when combined with the right strategy. So, how does the application process for this valuable certificate work, and how do you decide on the most suitable incentive system for your investment? Let’s examine this process step-by-step. 📝

The most suitable incentive system is determined by analyzing the investment’s sector, type, and the province where it will be made. The entire application file is prepared via E-TUYS, and the process is managed effectively.

🤔 Why Should You Obtain an Investment Incentive Certificate?

The Investment Incentive Certificate is more than a simple document; it is like a shield offering investors a series of significant advantages. Some of these advantages include:

• VAT Exemption: You are exempt from Value Added Tax on your machinery and equipment purchases.

• Customs Duty Exemption: You do not pay customs duty for the machinery and equipment you import.

• Tax Reduction: You pay corporate tax or income tax at reduced rates.

• Social Security Premium Support (Employer’s Share): The employer’s share of the social security premium that you must pay for your employees is covered by the state.

• • Interest or Profit Share Support: You benefit from interest or profit share support for the investment loans you use.

• Investment Place Allocation: You can benefit from the opportunity of free or low-cost land allocation for your investment.

🎯 How to Determine the Most Suitable Incentive System? The Importance of Strategic Analysis

1. The Province of the Investment (Regional Incentive System): 🗺️

2. The Sector of the Investment: 🏭

3. The Type and Scale of the Investment: 💼

The analysis of these three fundamental criteria will reveal which incentive system is the “most suitable” for you. Acting hastily or performing an incomplete analysis at this stage could cause you to miss out on potential supports.
