- Social content creators (influencers) are exempt from additional income tax withholding on advertising payments if they meet certain conditions, such as receiving payments through a Turkish bank account.
- Banks must withhold 15% income tax on earnings deposited into these accounts, but companies making advertising payments to influencers do not make further tax withholdings.
- Advertising services provided by influencers are exempt from VAT (KDV); no VAT is calculated on these payments.
- If influencers provide services outside the scope of advertising, those services may be subject to VAT.
