Where to begin?
Before starting a business in Turkey, you need to choose a legal form and go through the registration procedure. The country's authorities reduced the process of creating an enterprise from nineteen steps to three, so you can deal with paper issues in one day and in one instance. You need to contact the Chamber of Commerce and register the company of the selected format. The country is interested in the flow of investment, so there are no restrictions for foreigners.
As a rule, a limited liability company is chosen as the legal form. In this case, it is necessary to pay the authorized capital in the amount of five thousand Turkish liras. When registering a joint-stock company, the amount payable will be fifty thousand lire, in addition, at least five shareholders will be required.
Detailed description of the procedure
To legally register, you will need a certain list of documents. It includes a decision on the composition of the founders, a charter for the Chamber of Commerce, a manifesto for the Chamber of Commerce, a company name with confirmation of uniqueness verification in the trading bureau and compliance with the requirements of the commercial code. All documents must be certified by a notary and used within two weeks after visiting the notary's office.
If there are several founders, the procedure should be carried out with their physical participation. After submitting documents to the Chamber of Commerce, the entrepreneur receives an “Official Newspaper”, which contains information on registering a business. After that, you need to register with the appropriate service and pay the registered capital. 30% of the required amount should be paid within three months after the start of activity, and the remaining money in the next three years.
Tax payment
Before starting a business in Turkey, it is worth familiarizing yourself with the tax system.
Income tax must be paid by all individuals living in the country who receive profit from their activities. Payment is made monthly.
The amount of tax is from 25 to 50 percent of earnings per year. Legal entities are concerned with another payment. This is income tax, and it is paid at a rate of 20 percent. These two amounts are considered direct.
There are also indirect ones. These are VAT, vehicle tax, banking and insurance transactions, inheritance and gifts, transfer of ownership, real estate, communication and education. Customs duties and other fees should also be considered.
Mental difference
When starting work, the cultural differences between Turkey and Russia should also be considered. For business, not only a business approach is important, you need to be able to build relationships with representatives of another people. It is not difficult to agree with the Turks, but they do not always find it necessary to follow what is agreed upon.
Therefore, logistics, rental agreements and marketing activities in Turkey should be formalized in official papers with all the seals and signatures, otherwise the partner can easily just forget or change his mind.
How do Turks do business?
A self-respecting Turk does not consider it necessary to pay taxes and often lives on credit. If you agree on monthly payments, do not be surprised if you receive money immediately for three months four times a year instead of twelve transfers. Loans, debts, overdue rents - frivolous Turks all this is not too worrying, and even a small company may well have debts of several tens of thousands of dollars. And this will not be considered a sign of bankruptcy at all.
Before starting a business in Turkey, it is worth considering all these features, and then, already in the process of doing business, do not give in to a contagious example and still keep order in financial matters.
