The importance of obtaining a tax number in Turkey

The tax number in Turkey consists of 10 digits and is necessary in order to complete financial transactions in Turkey, especially those related to the payment of tax or fees, and it is known in Turkish as Vergi Numarasi, so its extraction is mandatory for the documents and documents to be available

First of all, what is the tax number?

It consists of a series of numbers that do not exceed ten numbers, and is used in particular in the conduct of financial transactions. All Turkish citizens own one of their own tax number, issued upon their birth and registered in their records, which is a legal and enforceable procedure. As for the citizen, if he is a foreigner residing in their country, this matter needs to obtain a tax number from the ministry responsible for granting it to traders and investors, which is the Ministry of Finance. Perhaps you will wonder about the importance of this number and why the Turkish state insists on giving it to all residents and not only to owners of capital or investors, and it is absolutely not a requirement to be present in person to take this number, it is enough to communicate with them through the Internet. This decision is in order for the subject to be within the easy scope for the individuals who must obtain this number, so you enter the Ministry’s website and then fill in the data table that is placed in front of you, which is simple information about you. And this is not the first thing that is decided to be granted via the computer. There are many other things, such as paying that tax. As an investor, for example, you will certainly have an account in the bank, so it will be taken from your account directly. 


Does owning a tax number mean that you will pay financial taxes?

No, there is no relationship between owning a tax number and paying money at all. It is only needed when you want to do a transaction, it must be with you and registered in the country. If you want to open an account with the bank, they will ask you for your tax number in order to complete the transaction 


The importance of the tax number as a citizen living on Turkish territory: 

The tax number is one of the most important documents that you must obtain in Turkey, and this is in order to make life easier for you, and through it, you will pay the bills incurred by you from water, electricity, gas and other necessities of life. In addition, if you want to obtain a driver’s certificate, this number will be one of the first things that will be requested in this transaction. And we previously mentioned that it is useful in opening a bank account, or in order to pay the costs of obtaining Turkish residency. If you do not have a tax number, you will not have a residence permit or if you want to buy a car or residential property, you will also need a tax number.


How can I, as a foreign citizen, get my tax number in Turkey? 

You will get it absolutely easily without the need to travel from one city to another, or to have obstacles related to your religion, gender or affiliation. This number is awarded based on your passport.


If my tax number is lost, how can I get it back? 

You can find it either by visiting one of the offices responsible for this matter by giving the number to its owners or recovering it in the event of its loss, or if someone wants to see his number out of curiosity and nothing more. If you do not want to go to any of the offices, you can find it through the website dedicated to customer service in order to facilitate them. 


Does anyone who enters Turkish territory directly get this number?

Of course not directly, he must have reached the period of ninety days or more for his stay, if he came to Turkey for a tourist purpose or for the purpose of establishing a business or in a temporary residence or as it is called a permit for the visit, all these cases need, if they are long enough, the person’s tax number.


Since you got your tax number, what are the cases in which you have to pay financial taxes?

Of course, the main goal of obtaining a tax number is to pay taxes in the first place. And Turkey is one of the countries keen on collecting taxes and not being lenient in this matter at all. At the same time, it does not impose huge amounts of money, all are within the scope of reasonability, and for each real estate you own or work for which you are responsible, a different tax than others. For example, whoever owns a company, his tax is higher than that of real estate apartments, and whoever owns real estate apartments for trade, his tax is higher than who owns real estate apartments for housing only.


What are the things that pay financial tax according to the tax number?

There is the annual income tax, the car tax if you own one, also traffic fines in case you violate the laws imposed on driving, inheritance tax, travel and buying real estate. All of these things need a tax number that indicates to the government who has to pay taxes. 
All countries on the surface of the planet have tax laws and taxes that they impose on their citizens, and they need evidence to show them, so they give each citizen a tax number of his own, which is his national number, which is found in his personal identity. He is given this number since they were born.
Through this number, the state and the official bodies responsible for collecting taxes can distinguish the person who has made his payments from the person who has not yet paid. And not only that, that number gives people an opportunity to get what they want because without it there are many things they cannot have. We cannot consider this issue only as a means of paying money, but as a means of organizing the country's affairs and organizing it away from the chaos that would occur without it.
