# Sole Proprietorship for Remote Workers in Turkey

**Canonical URL:** `https://evrenozmen.com.tr/sole-proprietorship-remote-worker-turkey`

**Last reviewed:** 18 August 2026

## Direct Answer

A Turkish sole proprietorship can be a practical structure for remote workers, freelancers and independent contractors who live in Turkey and invoice foreign clients. It is usually simpler than a limited company, but the right choice depends on income level, client expectations, risk, VAT, social security, service export deduction eligibility and long-term business plans.
