2025 Income Tax Return Starts on March 1

Filing Period The 2025 income tax return period begins on March 1, 2025, and can be completed electronically by March 31.
Filing Method Citizens earning income from wages, rent, capital gains, or other sources can safely file their returns through the Digital Tax Office (Ready Return System).
Rental Income Taxation Property owners with annual rental income exceeding 47,000 TRY will owe income tax.
Those below this threshold are not required to file a return.
Payment Plan Income tax can be paid in two equal installments in March and July.
The first installment, including stamp duty, is due by March 31, and the second by July 31.
Payment Channels Payments can be made via the Revenue Administration's official website, Digital Tax Office, mobile app, designated bank branches, internet and mobile banking channels, foreign bank cards, PTT branches, and tax offices.
Legal Consequences Failure to file within the statutory period results in a special irregularity penalty.
If the tax is not accrued on time, a tax damage penalty and late interest will apply.
Discount Conditions To benefit from a discount, the tax returns for the current year and the previous two years must have been filed within the statutory period, no finalized assessments must exist on those returns, and the accrued taxes must have been paid.
These regulations make the filing and payment processes more transparent and accessible for taxpayers.
