The Turkish government has initiated a public consultation on the implementation of departure tax regulated by Law No. 5597 on the Exit Fee and the Amendments to Various Laws, which was recently amended by Article 51 of Law No. 7524 on Amendments to the Tax Laws and Some Laws and Decree Law No. 375.
The Turkish revenue administration published a draft General Communiqué outlining the procedures and principles for the implementation and payment methods of the departure tax on 7 November 2024. The draft regulation aims to provide clarity on how the exit tax will be applied and how payments will be processed following the latest legislative changes.
Stakeholders and interested parties are invited to submit their views and suggestions on the draft regulation by 22 November 2024. Comments can be sent via email.
Earlier, the Turkish Revenue Administration officially published Law No. 7524 in the Official Gazette, on 2 August 2024, introducing tax reforms aimed at aligning with international standards.
