Turkey has announced an extension of income tax withholding incentives for employees in technology development zones and R&D or design centers.

According to Presidential Decision No. 9368 on 27 December 2024, employees working outside these designated zones can still qualify for the tax incentives under certain conditions.

For IT personnel identified by the Ministry, the incentive rate will be 100%, while other eligible employees will receive a 75% incentive. These rates apply to the total number of personnel or total work hours subject to the incentive.

The decision took effect on 1 January 2025 and will remain valid until 31 December 2025.
