Investment Place Allocation in the Investment Incentive System

🏞️ What is Investment Place Allocation in the Investment Incentive System?

Investment place allocation is one of the support elements provided in the investment incentive system. Especially in large-scale or strategic investments, the procurement of the land needed by the investor through the state speeds up the process and significantly reduces initial costs.

Within the scope of the new incentive system, investment place allocation means the allocation of public lands to the investor for specific investment types under certain conditions.

Institutions and Models Managing the Allocation Process

The allocation process is implemented through two main models, depending on the nature of the investment:

🏛️ 1. General Allocation Model

Within the scope of Annex 3 of Law No. 4706, land/immovable property is allocated to the investor. This process is managed directly by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change.

🚀 2. Türkiye Century Development Move Special Model

If your investment is within the scope of the Türkiye Century Development Move programs (Technology, Local, Strategic), the allocation processes are carried out faster and with priority through the Ministry of Industry and Technology, General Directorate of Industrial Zones.

Who Can Benefit? (Conditions and Exceptions)

✅ Conditions for Benefiting

Only investments that have received an incentive certificate and meet the following criteria can benefit from investment place allocation:

  • A valid Investment Incentive Certificate must have been issued.

  • The incentive certificate must include Tax Reduction support.

  • The investment subject must not be on the list of unsupported sectors.

🚫 Who Cannot Benefit?

One cannot benefit from the investment place allocation support in the following cases:

  • Investments for electricity generation (excluding manufacturing industry self-consumption).

  • Projects that do not include tax reduction support in their incentive certificate.

How Does the Allocation Process Work?

  1. Obtaining the Incentive Certificate: First, an incentive certificate is obtained for the investment project, and "Investment Place Allocation" support is requested in the certificate.

  2. Allocation Request: An official allocation request is submitted to the relevant Ministry (Environment or Industry) via the E-TUYS system.

  3. Site Identification and Valuation: The relevant Ministry identifies suitable public lands according to the nature and size of the investment. A valuation is made for the land.

  4. Allocation and Contract: The allocation process is completed by signing a contract with the investor based on the determined terms of use and fees.

  5. Start of Investment: Physical activity begins at the allocated site within the investment period, and the project is implemented.

Advantages Provided by Allocation

Advantage What it Means for Your Investment
💰Cost-Effective Land ProcurementIt eliminates the burden of land acquisition, one of the largest initial costs of an investment, allowing you to allocate your capital to machinery and operations.
Fast and Easy ProcessInstead of long and complex processes like land search, negotiation, and title transfer, you complete the process quickly with a single institution.
🏭Access to Ready InfrastructureYou can immediately benefit from ready infrastructure facilities such as roads, water, electricity, and natural gas, especially in allocations made in OIZs.
Priority in Public ProcessesSince your project will be located in a public area, you gain the advantage of priority consideration in other permit and licensing processes.

⚠️ Points to Consider

  • The allocated place can only be used for the investment specified in the incentive certificate; it cannot be used for other purposes.

  • If the investment is not completed within its period or the project is abandoned, the allocation may be canceled.

  • There is no right to allocation for electricity generation or other exceptional investment types specified in the Decree.

  • The investor is obliged to start physical activity at the allocated site within the investment period.

A Strategic Convenience in Investment

Investment place allocation is one of the significant conveniences offered by the new incentive system. This support, especially for projects under the Türkiye Century Development Move, offers the investor both ease in land procurement and time savings.

If you plan to request public land for your investment, it is recommended that you definitely consider this support element during the incentive certificate process and manage the process with the right steps.
