class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Dividend distribution refers to the allocation of a company\u2019s net profit for a given fiscal year to its shareholders. This distribution can be made in cash or on account. However, a general assembly resolution (for joint stock companies) or a decision by the board of partners (for limited liability companies) is required for the distribution to take effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dividend_Withholding_Tax_for_Individual_Shareholders_in_Turkey\"><\/span><strong>Dividend Withholding Tax for Individual Shareholders in Turkey<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When dividends are distributed to individual income taxpayers (real persons), the distributing company must withhold <strong>15% income tax<\/strong> at source. This withholding rate applies to both resident and non-resident individuals. The tax is calculated on the gross dividend amount and must be declared and paid via the withholding tax return by the 26th of the following month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><br>If a gross dividend of TRY 700,000 is paid to a shareholder, TRY 105,000 must be withheld as tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Is_the_Withholding_Tax_Applied\"><\/span><strong>When Is the Withholding Tax Applied?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The withholding tax obligation arises on the date of the general assembly or board of partners\u2019 resolution regarding the distribution. If a specific payment date is stated in the resolution, withholding is applied on that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Dividend_Income_Subject_to_Annual_Tax_Declaration_in_Turkey\"><\/span><strong>Is Dividend Income Subject to Annual Tax Declaration in Turkey?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Yes. Dividend income obtained by individuals is considered <strong>investment income (capital gains)<\/strong> and may be subject to annual income tax declaration depending on the amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In Turkey, <strong>50% of gross dividend income is exempt from income tax.<\/strong> However, for declaration purposes, the threshold is calculated based on the total gross amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Example Calculation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Gross dividend: TRY 700,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">50% exemption: TRY 350,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">2025 declaration threshold: TRY 330,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Since the TRY 350,000 (exempt portion) exceeds the threshold, the remaining amount is subject to declaration. Income tax is calculated on TRY 350,000, and the previously withheld TRY 105,000 can be fully offset. If the withholding exceeds the calculated tax, the excess may be refunded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_File_the_Dividend_Tax_Declaration_in_Turkey\"><\/span><strong>When to File the Dividend Tax Declaration in Turkey?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Dividend income that exceeds the declaration threshold must be reported in the <strong>Annual Income Tax Return in March of the following year<\/strong>. During this declaration, the following personal expenses may be deducted, within legal limits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\">Educational expenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Healthcare expenses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Private health and life insurance premiums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">Charitable donations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Offsetting_Withholding_Tax_and_Refund\"><\/span><strong>Offsetting Withholding Tax and Refund<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Withholding tax made by the distributing company is fully creditable against the calculated income tax. If the amount withheld exceeds the tax due, the excess can be refunded upon request.<br>This <strong>withholding-offset-refund cycle<\/strong> is a key step in the <strong>dividend tax declaration Turkey<\/strong> process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_If_There_Is_No_Need_to_File_a_Return\"><\/span><strong>What If There Is No Need to File a Return?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If the remaining portion of the gross dividend (after the 50% exemption) does <strong>not exceed the declaration threshold<\/strong>, and the individual has <strong>no other declarable income<\/strong>, then filing a tax return is not required. In such cases, the <strong>15% withholding tax is considered final<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dividend_Distribution_to_Non-Resident_Shareholders_and_Withholding_Tax\"><\/span><strong>Dividend Distribution to Non-Resident Shareholders and Withholding Tax<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Companies in Turkey may also distribute profits to shareholders residing abroad. In these cases, the applicable withholding rate depends on both Turkish tax law and any <strong>Double Taxation Agreement (DTA)<\/strong> signed between Turkey and the shareholder\u2019s country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_Dividend_Distribution_to_a_Japanese_Corporate_Shareholder\"><\/span><strong>Example: Dividend Distribution to a Japanese Corporate Shareholder<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">If a Turkish company distributes dividends to its 99.96% shareholder residing in Japan, the applicable tax rules are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Under Turkish Tax Law:<\/strong><br>A flat 15% withholding applies to dividend payments made to non-resident companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Under the Turkey\u2013Japan DTA:<\/strong><br>If the Japanese company owns more than 25% of the Turkish entity (which it does), the maximum withholding rate should be <strong>10%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>However, per the protocol of the treaty:<\/strong><br>If the Turkish company\u2019s corporate tax rate applies to less than 40% of its income, the reduced 10% rate is not applicable, and <strong>15% withholding applies<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Since the Turkish corporate tax rate is currently 25%, this threshold is satisfied, and 15% withholding remains applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The Japanese shareholder can claim the tax paid in Turkey as a credit against its domestic tax in Japan, thus avoiding double taxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\ud83d\udc49 For more information on applicable treaty rates and tax implications, please visit our detailed guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/metropolcpa.com\/double-taxation-agreements-in-turkey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Double Taxation Agreements in Turkey<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Considerations_Before_Declaring_or_Distributing_Dividends\"><\/span><strong>Key Considerations Before Declaring or Distributing Dividends<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"\"><strong>Previous Year Losses:<\/strong><br>Losses from prior years must be offset before any distribution.
