    <description>Closing a Turkish company does not oblige you to repay support. A defective claim does, and that debt can be collected from the people who ran the company.</description>

    <description>A distributed team does not disqualify you. The Decision supports staff in Türkiye and staff in overseas offices, but the 0% tax deduction asks where the service is provided from.</description>

    <description>The founder&#x27;s residence permit is the easy part. Employing foreign staff runs into a five to one local hiring ratio, a capital test and salary floors set as multiples of the minimum wage.</description>

    <title>What a developer costs you as an employer in Türkiye</title>

    <pubDate>Mon, 24 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0300</pubDate>
    <description>Gross salary is not the number. Employer contributions add 23.75%, they stop at a ceiling of 297,270 TL a month, and severance accrues from the first year of service.</description>

    <pubDate>Sat, 22 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0300</pubDate>
    <description>The reimbursement is not the net figure. A claim carries certified accountant sign-off, notarisation and translation, and the support itself lands in the company&#x27;s taxable income.</description>

    <description>Cap by cap against the Standard Programme: advertising doubles to 100 million TL a year, store commissions to 40 million, twice as many products, and five items lose their caps entirely.</description>

    <description>A B2B company claims a different set of items from a game studio: sales staff, certifications, analyst subscriptions, events and agent commissions. What each pays, with a worked example for a $4M ARR company.</description>

    <description>You earn dollars, you spend dollars on ads and cloud, and the reimbursement is fixed to the exchange rate on the day you paid. Where the lira actually touches your numbers, and where it does not.</description>

    <description>Studios usually compare these five on tax, where they all end up in much the same place. Only one of them also pays you back for what you spend on growth.</description>

    <description>Who actually writes cheques here, which accelerators matter, and what the biggest outcomes looked like. Plus the part founders overlook: the incentives are capital that costs no equity.</description>

    <description>Turkish studios get acquired. Two rules decide whether the sale is clean: the incentives survive a share sale but not a sale of the game itself, and share certificates decide whether the gain is taxed.</description>
