Authorized capital should be at least TL 10,000. The minimum composition of a company is one shareholder and one director with no residency requirements. The maximum number of participants is 50, in this case.<\/li>\n<li><b><i>Joint Stock Company<\/i><\/b> \u2013 an enterprise where the liability of shareholders is restricted to the amounts contributed to their shares also. Such a company may offer under certain conditions its shares to the public involving this way extra financing. The minimum share capital of TL 50,000 is required for this type of company.

The board of directors should have at least one member, the use of nominal service is allowed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-block\">\n<h2>Registration Requirements and Steps<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to incorporate a company in Turkey, the formal registration procedure covers these preliminary registration steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Defining your business goals and priorities.<\/li>\n<li>Choosing and verifying a business name for a future Turkish enterprise.<\/li>\n<li>Collecting data about the founders, beneficial owners, and managers of the anticipated company.<\/li>\n<li>Arranging the business address for a future entity.<\/li>\n<li>Opening an account in a Turkish bank with placing to it an amount equal to \u00bc of the value of authorized capital (for a joint-stock company).<\/li>\n<li>Drafting and formalizing statutory documents for the future Turkish enterprise.<\/li>\n<li>Collecting and submitting the set of required documents to the registrar.<\/li>\n<li>Registration for tax and social security purposes.<\/li>\n<li>Obtaining licenses and special permits (if such are required for conducting certain types of business activities).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-block\">\n<h2>Legal and Regulatory Framework<\/h2>\n<p>As a result of recent changes in the legislation, there is a significant simplification of the procedure of company registration in Turkey. Loyal legislation provides strong support to foreign entrepreneurs. This has increased the attractiveness of the jurisdiction. There can be created a company backed by 100% foreign capital. The Director of the company may be not only a resident of Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>The major legal acts regulating the operation of companies in Turkey are the Commercial Code and the Capital Markets Law. The major state authorities regulating the activities of local companies are the Turkish Commercial Registry, the Ministry of Industry and Technology, and the Capital Markets Board.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-block\">\n<h2>Tax System<\/h2>\n<p>If you are considering an option of company incorporation in Turkey, these preliminary tax highlights may be very helpful while this consideration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Corporate income tax (CIT) rate \u2013 25%<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Personal income tax (PIT) rate \u2013 40 %<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Value-added tax rate \u2013 20 %<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Withholding tax (for foreigners) \u2013 (i) dividends &#8211; 15% (ii) interests &#8211; 10% (iii) royalties &#8211; 20%.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><i>Capital gains tax rates \u2013 (i) corporate \u2013 equals to the basic CIT rate (ii) individual \u2013 equals to the basic PIT rate.<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The system of taxation is also determined by the status of the enterprise. Stamp duty is levied on contracts, letters of credit, promissory notes, and other documents. The amount of payment is a percentage of the value of particular documents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"info-block\">\n<h2>Advantages of the Jurisdiction<\/h2>\n<p>Turkey attracts foreign capital creating favorable conditions for the development of foreign companies. There are a number of benefits that entrepreneurs get by registering a company here. <b>The most important of them are as follows:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trustworthiness of the jurisdiction.<\/li>\n<li>Simple and accessible registration.<\/li>\n<li>Developed infrastructure.
