A dispute has arisen between the decisions of the civil chambers of the regional courts of appeal as to whether, under Article 57/1 of the Turkish Labor Law No. 4857, the employer’s failure to prepay or advance the leave payment for the employee's annual paid leave period constitutes just cause for termination by the employee.

The transfer of the cumulative income tax base to a new employer during a mid-year job change raises several important questions.

The most frequently asked question by both employees and employers is whether the cumulative income tax base from the previous workplace should be carried over to the new employer. This issue, along with other related considerations, is discussed in detail below:

What is Withholding Tax?

Withholding tax refers to the process of partially or fully deducting and paying the tax either by the buyer or the seller, in order to ensure secure and effective tax collection. This practice is especially important in terms of Value Added Tax (VAT) and Income Tax, serving as a safeguard mechanism to prevent tax losses. Withholding the tax at its source helps the government collect tax revenues accurately and on time.

What is Inflation Accounting?

Inflation accounting is an accounting regulation implemented to ensure that financial statements reflect reality in high inflation environments. Since the purchasing power of money changes over time due to inflation, financial statements need to be updated. This practice is regulated under the Tax Procedure Law (VUK) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The primary objective of this practice is to adjust the assets, liabilities, and equity in companies' financial statements to align with current economic conditions, enabling more accurate financial analyses. The distortion in monetary items caused by high inflation makes it difficult to understand a company's true profitability and financial strength. Inflation accounting enhances the accuracy of financial statements, allowing investors, lenders, and other stakeholders to make more informed decisions.

What is On-the-Job Training Program?

İŞKUR (Employment Agency) on-the-job training program aims to reduce unemployment, to reinforce the professional knowledge of the unemployed candidates registered on İŞKUR, to learn and develop by experiencing the work and production processes. With the on-the-job training program, employers can have the opportunity to review the performances of the candidates for a certain period of time to employ qualified workforce, and they also have the opportunity to save on the cost of searching for new employees.

What are the Benefits of the On-the-Job Training Program?

With the İŞKUR (Employment Agency) on-the-job training program, employers can save as much as the cost of a minimum wage by including the candidates they want to hire after meeting the necessary conditions. Based on that, employers can have the opportunity to see the candidates while working in the field, and they will have the opportunity to train them according to their own corporate culture and needs. If the program ends positively, they will also be able to benefit from SSI incentives for the new employees.

What is Banking and Insurance Transactions Tax?

The Banking and Insurance Transactions Tax (BSMV) is a type of indirect tax levied on revenues generated from transactions carried out by banks, insurance companies, and certain financial institutions.

Unlike many other taxes, BSMV is not calculated directly on the transaction amount itself, but rather on the income derived from the transaction, such as interest, commissions, fees, and similar financial gains. BSMV is regulated under the Expenditure Taxes Law No. 6802 and plays an important role in Türkiye’s financial and tax system.
