Türkiye is one of the most popular jurisdictions for international founders. The standard company form is the Ltd. Şti. · A.Ş., and the whole process runs online with Yorkmark — government filing, registered address and digital document delivery are part of every package.
Minimum share capital is ₺50,000, and the headline corporate tax rate is 25%. Below you can see how the process works, what you need to provide, and what every package includes.

Tax and yearly obligations in Türkiye
- Corporate tax
- 25% (30% for financial institutions).
- Minimum corporate tax
- Since 2025 the tax cannot fall below 10% of profit before certain exemptions, so exemption-heavy planning has a floor.
- VAT
- 20% standard, with 10% and 1% reduced rates. Monthly returns.
- Export services
- Services invoiced to customers abroad can be VAT-exempt and may qualify for an income-tax deduction if the conditions are met.
Rates and thresholds are as published by the authorities and change from year to year. This is information, not tax advice.
Bank accounts and payments in Türkiye
Turkish banks open company accounts quickly once the tax number and registry entry exist, but most want a signatory present.
İşbank, Garanti BBVA and Yapı Kredi all handle foreign-shareholder companies routinely.
e-invoice and e-ledger become mandatory over certain turnover levels — budget for it from day one.

Yes — every country we support allows non-resident founders; there is no citizenship or residency requirement to own the company. You provide your identity documents online and we handle the local filing and the registered address. Where a country needs an in-person step or a local director, its own section on this page explains it.

The annual service fee is $199 — that covers our work: company formation, registered agent, a business address and the founding documents. Government registration fees are separate and paid at cost in your panel; we always show the exact amount before you pay.
How long does company registration take in Türkiye?
3–5 business days, counted from the moment we have your documents. Most of that time is the registry, not us.
