How to Maximize Export Incentives for Software and Mobile Game Companies in Turkey

As the global digital economy grows, software and mobile game developers in Turkey have an exciting opportunity to leverage government-backed export incentives that can significantly reduce their operational costs.

One of the most attractive benefits is the ability to claim up to 50% of the commissions paid to international platforms such as Apple, Google, and Steam — a valuable opportunity for developers earning foreign revenue.

But that’s not all — advertising expenses for mobile apps can also be supported by the Turkish government, helping businesses lower their marketing costs and scale faster.

What Are the Export Incentives?

The Turkish Ministry of Trade provides a variety of export incentives to help software and mobile game companies expand internationally. These programs are designed to:

• Encourage digital exports,

• Strengthen competitiveness abroad, and

• Reduce financial burdens associated with commissions and marketing.

With the right guidance, your company can recover thousands of dollars in eligible expenses.

Recovering Platform Commissions: Get Up to 50% Back

Platforms like Apple, Google, and Steam typically charge a 15%–30% commission on your international sales.

Under the export incentive program, the Turkish government refunds 50% of the commission amount corresponding to your foreign revenue.

For example, if you paid $20,000 in commissions to Apple or Google Play, you may be able to reclaim $10,000 — money that can go directly back into your business.

Advertising Support: Reduce Your Marketing Costs

For mobile app developers, advertising is essential for growth and revenue. Most companies allocate a large portion of their budget to ads — but the Ministry of Trade helps ease this burden too.

With government support, you can recover a portion of your advertising expenses — and in special cases, the support rate can reach up to 70%.

This means you can spend more confidently on marketing, user acquisition, and global reach — knowing that part of your investment will come back to you.

Why These Incentives Matter

• 💰 Reduce Costs: Recover up to half of your commissions and major portions of ad spend.

• 🌍 Boost Global Reach: Use savings to expand into new markets and increase brand visibility.

• 🚀 Accelerate Growth: Reinvest your recovered funds into R&D, marketing, or team expansion.

How to Apply for the Incentives

Applying for these incentives requires accurate documentation, expense tracking, and a deep understanding of the Ministry of Trade’s procedures.

Many companies miss out on eligible refunds simply because they don’t know how to structure their applications or which expenses qualify.

That’s where professional financial guidance makes the difference.
