Turkey tax debt restructuring deadline set for August 31

The deadline for applying for the tax and Social Security Institution (SGK) debt restructuring program in Turkey is August 31, 2026. The regulation allows taxpayers to pay certain public receivables in installments with an annual deferral interest rate of 29 percent.

The scope includes income tax, corporate tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), various fees, traffic fines, and student loans. However, certain taxes such as Special Consumption Tax (SCT) and temporary taxes related to 2026 income or corporate tax are excluded.

Installment terms vary by debt type: non-VAT debts can be spread over up to 72 months, while VAT debts are limited to a maximum of 12 months. For debts under 10 million TL, no collateral is required; for amounts exceeding this threshold, taxpayers must provide collateral equal to half of the excess amount.

Applications can be submitted electronically through the Revenue Administration (GİB) website, the Digital Tax Office, or the e-Devlet portal, eliminating the need for in-person visits to tax offices.
