From company formation to the new 20-year tax exemption — and the German exit-tax analysis you cannot skip — we manage the entire move end to end. One dedicated advisor at your side through every step of the setup.
It is company formation, tax registration, accounting, banking, residency — and on the German side, the exit-tax analysis that decides whether the move makes financial sense at all. We run all of it, and we are accountable for the result on both sides of the border.
The right vehicle for your purpose — limited company, joint-stock company, or a branch of your German entity — incorporated and registered correctly the first time.
The exemption is not automatic. We confirm whether you qualify, structure the move accordingly, and handle the Turkish filings so foreign income stays exempt for the full term.
Before you move, § 6 AStG must be assessed. Unrealised gains on your German shareholdings can crystallise on departure. We model the exposure before any decision is made.
Once the company runs, it has to stay compliant. We keep the books, file the KDV returns and run payroll — to Turkish standards, reported back to you in German or English.
A company without a working bank account is a shell. We coordinate local banking relationships and the administrative groundwork so the business is operational, not just registered.
The 2026 amnesty lets you declare assets held abroad at a reduced rate, shielded from audit — but the declaration window closes 31 July 2027. We handle the filing end to end.
Türkiye’s Grand National Assembly passed the tax-incentive package on 21 May 2026. Because the President initiated it himself, a veto is off the table; the law is in force and binding from its published text.
The headline is genuine: qualifying new residents pay no Turkish tax on foreign income for 20 years, and that income no longer even appears on the Turkish return. But "qualifying" does real work — the conditions, and the German tax consequences of leaving, decide whether the benefit is yours to claim.
Any German tax resident considering relocation is potentially subject to the exit tax under § 6 AStG. Unrealised gains on GmbH shareholdings and qualifying assets crystallise on departure.
The Germany–Türkiye double tax treaty (1985) governs taxing rights after the move — but it does not eliminate the German exit tax. This analysis must come before the decision to relocate, not after.
Personal income tax — the core measures
Foreign assets — amnesty, deadline 31 July 2027
Corporate tax — the package
The honest caveat: the benefit is large but not universal. Whether you qualify, how the 1985 treaty allocates taxing rights, and what § 6 AStG costs on the way out are individual questions. They are exactly the questions we answer before you commit.
No hand-offs to a network you never meet. The same person who assesses your case sees it through to a running company.
We map your situation on both sides — eligibility for the exemption, and your German exit-tax exposure. You get a clear yes, no, or "here’s the cost".
We design the move: the right entity, the right sequence, the right timing — so the benefit holds and the German side is defensible.
Formation, registration, banking and residency. We execute and coordinate the Turkish groundwork ourselves.
Ongoing accounting, payroll, VAT and reporting — in German or English — so the business stays compliant without your daily attention.
We won’t oversell it. Türkiye’s tax break does not beat Dubai on headline rate — no time-limited exemption can match a permanent zero on all personal income. What it offers is a different proposition: a substantial exemption with no annual fee, no minimum investment, European proximity, and — for clients with German ties — a cultural and linguistic familiarity other jurisdictions can’t replicate.
And whatever jurisdiction you choose, every German tax resident faces the exit tax under § 6 AStG. A move to Dubai, Lisbon or İstanbul triggers the same German analysis. That conversation — and the structuring that follows — is exactly what we lead from both sides.
Strongest terms among time-limited tax breaks. No annual fee, no minimum investment. Uniquely relevant for clients with a German connection.
The benchmark. Permanent, comprehensive, no annual fee. Access requires substantial investment. German exit tax still applies.
Who is the Turkish tax break right for?
It isn’t the right answer for everyone — but for specific profiles it’s more compelling than any alternative.
Those who have lived abroad for at least three years and are now considering a move to Türkiye. The 20-year exemption changes the maths of relocation entirely — foreign income stays exempt for two decades.
High-net-worth individuals who want a tax advantage without moving to the Gulf. Türkiye is 3.5 flight hours from Berlin — with no minimum-investment requirement.
Türkiye’s citizenship-by-investment route ($400k) was largely a passport play. The new law gives it, for the first time, a genuine tax-planning dimension.
The point isn’t whether local specialists in Türkiye are involved — for complex mandates, that’s normal. The point is who coordinates and who is accountable for the outcome. With us, that’s always the same person.
Over three decades of tax advisory, admitted to the Steuerberaterkammer Berlin. Full German compliance, structuring and planning for locally and internationally active clients.
For the Turkish side we work with vetted local specialists — and coordinate that work ourselves. No client is handed off to a stranger.
Advice in German, Turkish and English at the same depth. Communicating fluently on both sides of the move isn’t a given — with us it’s standard.
Citizenship by investment is a matter of its own — legally separate from the tax exemption, and available today. For clients who want the Turkish passport — for mobility or out of conviction — there are two established routes. We run the process and keep it clean against your German position.
Acquire qualifying property worth at least USD 400,000 — one of the lowest thresholds among major citizenship programmes worldwide. Rental income during the holding period is permitted.
Deposit USD 500,000 with a Turkish bank, converted to lira and held for three years. The deposit earns interest, and the capital is returned once the term ends.
Both routes include your spouse and children under 18. Parents, adult children and siblings are not covered.
The passport buys residence and mobility — not the 20-year tax exemption, and not a solution to the German exit tax. Those are three separate matters that only marketing merges into one package. We handle all three so they don’t collide. Investment amounts and procedures can change; what governs is the position at the time of your application.
One call tells you whether you qualify, what the German side costs, and what the setup involves. Clear answers, no obligation, in the language you prefer.
Deutsch · Türkçe · English — the first conversation is free and non-binding.
