Machinery Support in the Investment Incentive System

⚙️ What is Machinery Support in the Investment Incentive System?

Machinery Support, one of the supports offered in the investment incentive system, is implemented to reduce machinery and equipment expenditures, which are one of the largest cost items in the investment process. This support, developed especially to encourage high-tech investments, is a non-refundable grant tool that directly relieves the investor's budget.

Basic Conditions for Machinery Support

The support is only valid for machinery that meets the following conditions:

  • Must be exclusively under the Türkiye Century Development Move (Technology, Local, Strategic Move) programs.

  • The machinery and equipment must be new (second-hand is not accepted).

  • The unit price of each machine must be 2 Million TRY and above.

  • The support is applied for machinery that is procured within the investment period and is listed in the incentive certificate.

What is the Support Rate and Amount?

Machinery support is provided with maximum rates and amounts that vary according to the investment type. The support rate is applied as 25% of the invoice amount, excluding VAT.

Incentive Program Maximum Rate (% of Fixed Investment) Maximum Support Amount (TRY)
💡 Technology Move Program 15% 240 Million TRY
🗺️ Local Development Move Program 15% 240 Million TRY
🎯 Strategic Move Program 15% 180 Million TRY

Note: The maximum rates and amounts in the table are upper limits calculated on the total project budget. The payment for each machine is 25% of its invoice amount.

⚖️ Critical Choice: Machinery Support or Interest Support?

This is one of the most important decision moments for investors. Because Machinery Support and Interest/Profit Share Support cannot be used simultaneously. The investor must choose only one during the application.

🏦 Interest/Profit Share Support

It is generally more advantageous for investments financed with a loan. It eases cash flow by reducing credit costs.

🎁 Machinery Support

It is generally more advantageous for large-scale technological investments made with equity capital or where machinery costs are very high. It provides direct cash support.

How to Benefit and What are the Important Limitations?

Application and Payment Process

  1. Application and Preference: The request for machinery support is clearly stated in the incentive certificate application.

  2. Procurement of Machinery: During the investment period, new machines with a unit price of over 2 Million TRY are procured under the certificate.

  3. Annual Reporting: The investment progress report is submitted to the Ministry within the first six months following the year of investment.

  4. Support Payment: Based on these reports, machinery support payments are made within the year the report is submitted.

🚫 Important Limitations

  • The support is only valid for the Türkiye Century Development Move programs (not available for Priority/Target Investments).

  • To benefit from the support, the machinery and equipment must be new.

  • Investments receiving machinery support cannot simultaneously receive interest/profit share support.

  • Used complete plant investments cannot benefit from this support.

  • The support payment is only for machinery/equipment purchases; expenses such as land, buildings, software, etc., are not covered.

For Whom is it Advantageous?

This support offers a great opportunity, especially for investors with the following profiles:

  • Large-scale investments financed mainly with equity capital,

  • Firms in sectors where machinery and equipment costs are very high within the total investment,

  • Owners of large and ambitious projects focused on technology, strategy, or local development.

Direct Cash Support in Investment
