This new Law is a Game-Changer for Foreigners Moving to Alanya
The Turkish government has officially passed a groundbreaking tax reform designed to attract international investors, entrepreneurs, and expats to Turkey. Officially published in the Resmî Gazete (Official Gazette) on June 4, 2026, under Law No. 7582, this new legislation offers unprecedented financial advantages for anyone looking to relocate.
If you have been dreaming of a life on the beautiful Turkish Riviera, there has never been a better time financially. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a digital nomad, or an investor with global assets, Alanya just became one of the most tax-friendly destinations in the world.
The Core Benefit: 20 Years Tax-Free
Under the new Provisional Article 20/D of the Income Tax Law, individuals who move their tax residency to Turkey will receive a 20-year tax exemption (0% tax) on all foreign-sourced income.
This massive tax holiday includes:
Corporate income and dividends from foreign companies (regardless of where your company is registered globally).
Capital gains from abroad, including interest and stock profits.
Rental income generated from real estate owned outside of Turkey.
Who is Eligible for the Program?
To take advantage of this 20-year program, applicants must meet the following baseline criteria:
You must officially move your tax residency to Turkey.
You must not have been a tax resident or lived in Turkey during the last three calendar years prior to your move.
Important Exception: This 0% tax rule applies strictly to foreign income. Any income generated directly within Turkey (such as local business operations or employment in a Turkish company) will be taxed according to the standard progressive tax scale of 15% to 40%.
Additional Wealth Benefits
As part of this comprehensive reform package, the Turkish government has also significantly lowered the inheritance and gift tax for qualifying assets down to a flat rate of just 1%.
Current Status: When Does it Start?
The law is 100% secure, active, and legally binding. Because it is a brand-new legislative package introduced in the summer of 2026, the process is currently in a brief transitional phase regarding the bureaucratic paperwork. While the law is in effect retroactively from January 1, 2026, the detailed administrative implementation regulations and official declaration forms from the Turkish tax authorities are expected to be fully finalized in about a month.
