class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wage is the total of cash and benefits provided by the employer in return for services performed by employees under an employment relationship and a specific workplace. Wage income earned by individuals within a calendar year is subject to income tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wage refers to the gross revenue obtained from the employer in return for physical or intellectual labor. This revenue may consist of cash, goods, or other benefits that can be represented in monetary terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The payment of wages under names such as allowances, compensations, fund compensations, allocations, raises, advances, fees, honoraria, bonuses, premiums, or reimbursement of expenses, or the determination of earnings as a percentage of profit (provided there is no partnership relationship), does not change its nature as wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Wage_Taxation_Works_in_Turkey\"><\/span>How Wage Taxation Works in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wage income is generally subject to <strong>withholding tax<\/strong>, and the tax is calculated on the <strong>net amount<\/strong> of the income. The withholding taxes on wage income are declared and paid by employers through the <strong>withholding and premium service return (Muhtasar ve Prim Hizmet Beyannamesi)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the wage income is not subject to withholding or is only partially withheld, and exceeds the exempt minimum wage threshold, it must be declared by <strong>annual tax return<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, as of January 1, 2022, the portion of the wage income corresponding to the minimum wage (after deducting employee social security and unemployment insurance contributions) is <strong>exempt from income tax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
