Direct Answer

This intake page lists the information needed to review a remote worker, freelancer, contractor or founder's Turkish tax position. The goal is to classify the income, identify Turkish tax residence, test 89/13 eligibility, separate VAT issues and decide whether OZM's 20/D non-dom analysis is also needed.

If the case involves foreign-client service income, use the calculator first and paste its generated report into the email:
