VAT Refund
VAT is a transaction tax that is levied at each stage of the production and the distribution process of goods and services from producers to final costumers. Liability for VAT arises when a person or entity performs commercial, industrial, agricultural or independent professional activities within Turkey, or when goods or services are imported into Turkey. The VAT system works as a tax credit mechanism that means that the input VAT paid for purchases is offset against the output VAT generated through sales and the computation of the VAT liability is based on this system. However, according to the Turkish VAT Law, it is possible to reclaim the input VAT which cannot be deducted in case of some circumstances such as: the transactions related to VAT Responsibility and Reverse Charge VAT, exportation of goods and services, sales under condition of exportation, sales related to investment incentive certificate or sales performed with reduced VAT rate and so forth.
To provide tax refunds for the transactions that are mentioned above on the basis of principles to be determined by the Ministry of Finance, it is an obligation to present a VAT Refund Report which has been prepared by Sworn in CPAs.
In this process some reasons such as the frequent changes in the legislation, an unstable approach on the basis of any tax offices, difficulties in relation to taking confirmation letters from suppliers, can cause the tax refund process to last longer than expected. For this reason, companies can lack a serious source of fund for a long while. In other words, to accomplish a tax refund process quickly, in addition to having knowledge related to the legislation, it is necessary to command the process and our experiences in this field instruct us efficiently.
Transfer Pricing
In a globalizing world, developments in technology and communication networks lead companies to do business in more than one country and it brings some taxation issues between countries together. Pricing of goods, services, intangibles, loans and other financial transactions between related business entities is prominent among these issues. Transfer pricing is therefore a consequential issue for group companies when doing inter-company businesses both nationally and internationally.
Tax authorities in countries, impose on companies to comply with the transfer pricing legislation when they determine the price between parties while doing inter-company business both nationally and internationally. According to transfer pricing legislation the pricing of goods and services within the organization should be ensured by setting out the fair rewards that would arise for the same transactions involving third parties. Otherwise the difference between these two prices will be considered as a concealed gain and levied in accordance with transfer pricing legislation.
At this point our purpose is to lead companies at the stage of planning their trade and tax terms as well as to manage tax risks in relation to transfer pricing, by our appropriate suggestions.
Providing consultancy at the stage of signing a cash price definition agreement with the Tax Authority, and preparing Transfer Pricing Reports are among our other services in relation to this field.
