About Tax Free Turkey

Your guide to Turkey's
landmark 2026 tax law

We help individuals and freelancers understand what Turkey's new 20-year tax exemption means for them — and connect them with the right people to act on it.

Our Purpose

Why we built this

On 21 May 2026, Turkey's Grand National Assembly passed one of the most significant tax residency packages in the world. A 20-year exemption from Turkish income tax on all foreign-source earnings for new qualifying residents. It was major news — and deeply confusing for most people.

Tax Free Turkey exists to cut through the noise. We translate the legislation into clear, honest language so that individuals and freelancers can understand what it actually means for their situation — before they spend a penny on professional advice.

We are not a law firm, an accounting practice, or a financial advisor. We are an information service. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice and nothing on this site should be relied upon as a substitute for independent professional advice.

What we believe

Good decisions require good information. Too many people either miss out on legitimate opportunities or make costly mistakes because the information available is either too technical, too vague, or written to sell them something.

We believe everyone who might benefit from Turkey's new law deserves a clear, honest explanation of what it offers — and what it doesn't. No hype, no pressure, no hidden agenda.

Only when you're informed and ready do we make any introductions — and only to partners we have personally reviewed.

What We Do

Three things we do, done well

We keep our scope deliberately narrow so we can do each of these three things properly.

01

Explain the law clearly

We break down Turkey's 20-year tax exemption into plain language — what's covered, what's not, who qualifies, how to apply, and what the timeline looks like. All content is based on the legislation passed on 21 May 2026 and updated as official gazette guidance is published.

02

Connect you with local professionals

When you're ready to act, we introduce you to professionals in our network in Turkey — tax advisors, immigration lawyers, bankers, and relocation specialists. We do not endorse or guarantee the services of any professional. You choose who to engage, on your own timeline, with no obligation.

03

Build an expat community (coming soon)

As people successfully complete the residency process, our goal is to bring them together into a community — so that newcomers can learn from those who have already made the move. This is something we are building over time, not a promise we make today.

Who We Help

Built for two types of people

Whether you're a private individual or a remote professional, we tailor what we share to your specific situation.

Pathway 01

Individuals & Families

For private individuals — retirees, investors, and families looking to relocate — we explain exactly how the 20-year personal tax exemption applies to your foreign income and assets.

  • Clear explanation of the 0% foreign income rule
  • Eligibility check based on your personal history
  • Information on the 1% inheritance & gift tax rate
  • Asset amnesty guidance (deadline: 31 July 2027)
  • Introductions to tax counsel, lawyers & wealth managers
Pathway 02

Freelancers & Remote Workers

For digital professionals earning foreign income — consultants, developers, designers, creators — Turkey's exemption means your entire client revenue could be tax-free for 20 years.

  • Explanation of how foreign consulting income is treated
  • Residency and visa pathway information
  • Introductions to freelancer-specialist tax advisors
  • Banking setup guidance for foreign income receipt
  • Coworking space recommendations in major cities
Expat Community — Coming Soon

Our plan: connect people who make the move

One of our longer-term goals is to bring together people who have successfully relocated to Turkey under the new law — so that future movers can learn from those who've already done it.

This is not something we offer today. But as individuals and freelancers complete the process with our help, we plan to build a community where they can share their real experiences — and where newcomers can ask honest questions before committing to a major decision.

If you're interested in being part of this community once it's ready, register your interest and we'll reach out when it launches.

🏙

City-specific groups

Planned: Istanbul, Bodrum, Antalya and more — connect with people in the city you're considering.

💬

Real Q&A

Planned: Honest answers from people with firsthand experience — not marketing copy.

👪

Family networks

Planned: Connect with families who have moved children and navigated Turkish schools and healthcare.

💼

Business connections

Planned: Founders and executives who have set up companies and accounts in Turkey.

How we are funded

Access to our information and briefings is currently free. In the future, we plan to offer optional paid service packages — for example, if you need us to connect you with a tax advisor, lawyer, or banking contact, we may charge a small coordination fee for that introduction. Any charges will always be disclosed clearly in advance.

  • Information and briefings: always free
  • Optional service packages: disclosed clearly before any charge
  • We only work with professionals we have personally reviewed
  • You are never obliged to use any introduction we make
