Was einem Freiberufler in der Türkei wirklich bleibt
Bei einem Einzelunternehmen mit Auslandskunden schwankt die effektive Belastung von nahezu null bis über vierzig Prozent, abhängig von einer einzigen Größe: wie viel des Einkommens für den Abzug für Dienstleistungsexporte qualifiziert, der für 2026 auf 100 % angehoben wurde. Dieser Rechner geht die ganze Kette durch: Befreiungen, Bagkur, den Abzug, den allgemeinen Einkommensteuertarif und die festen Abgaben.
Eingaben
Software, Design und ähnliche Leistungen, die an Gebietsfremde fakturiert und im Ausland genutzt werden, qualifizieren für den Exportabzug.
Die meisten Selbstständigen melden den Mindestwert; eine höhere Basis erhöht die spätere Rente.

Methodology and sources
Computation order: revenue minus expenses gives business profit; the young entrepreneur exemption (₺400,000 per year for three years, under 29 at first registration) applies at profit level; Bagkur premiums paid in the year are deducted; then the export services deduction removes 100% of the profit from qualifying services: software, design, engineering and similar work invoiced to non-residents and used abroad, with the entire earnings transferred to Turkey by the filing deadline. The general tariff applies to what remains (its 27% bracket caps at ₺1,000,000, unlike the wage tariff). Quarterly prepayment returns are a timing matter, not an extra burden, but each carries a fixed stamp duty; four quarterly returns plus the annual return total ₺4,353.5 per year.
- 2026 general income tax tariff · Revenue Administration (GIB) official tariff
- Export services deduction raised to 100 percent · Presidential Decree No. 11257, Official Gazette No. 33239 (30 Apr 2026)
- Bagkur 35.75 / 30.75 percent with regular payment, base floor and ceiling · Law 7566 and the SGK 2026 premium schedule
- Young entrepreneur exemption TRY 400,000; its separate premium subsidy abolished for new registrants from 2026 · Income Tax Law, repeated art. 20
- Fixed return stamp duties · GIB 2026 stamp duty schedule
The premium subsidy abolition matters: freelancers who registered before 2026 keep their one-year Bagkur support as an acquired right; anyone starting now pays premiums from month one.
