The tax code (vergi numarasi) is a 10-digit number that foreigners use when conducting transactions such as buying and selling a car, opening a first bank account, buying a house or commercial property in Turkey, obtaining a work permit, renting a house or apartment. Or shops in Turkey need it. Contrary to the misconception of many people, receiving a tax number in Turkey does not necessarily mean that you have to pay taxes. The tax laws in Turkey are complex and detailed, but having a tax code does not make it mandatory to pay taxes. With this number, it is important to do some things, one of the most important of which is to apply for a Turkish residence, and you can pay the land tax and other fees after receiving the tax code.

In general, this number is similar to Iran’s national code, which is used to identify people in order to do all kinds of administrative and financial affairs. From registering to receive a permanent Turkish SIM card to buying a property in this country and getting a loan or starting a business, one of the main documents is the individual’s tax code. Therefore, if you intend to live and stay in Turkey for a long time, the first step is to get an active tax code, which you can use to become a member of the banking and tax system and use such services. Each person’s tax code is issued according to individual information and for his name as a natural person. This work will be done once and can be used in all economic institutions and offices in all cities of Turkey.
