Free Zone Consultancy
Free zones are areas within the political borders of the country they are located in, but are considered outside the customs border in terms of tax and foreign trade laws. Free zones provide exemptions and incentives for industrial and commercial activities above those provided domestically. Free zones in Turkey are part of the Turkish customs area, but they are places where goods not in free circulation are not subject to any customs regime and are considered outside the Turkish customs area in terms of customs duty, trade and exchange, and where goods in free circulation are subject to the exit regime. In other words, free zones can be defined as places.
- Encouraging export-oriented investment and production
- Accelerating the exit of foreign investors and technologies
- Direct business for export
- develop international trade
In a broader sense, free zones are established.
- To increase foreign investment and foreign trade
- To ensure that domestic producers supply resources at affordable prices in world markets and contribute to their international competitiveness,
- Encouraging export-oriented industries and increasing exports
- To increase foreign exchange inflow,
- Create new jobs and help solve the employment problem
- Raise economic standards by bringing advanced production and management methods from abroad into the country.
Free zones, which are widely used, provide a modern and advanced investment environment for companies that want to engage in foreign trade with their flexible and modern administrative structures, in addition to their contribution to the economies of the countries they are located in. They have been present as logistics centers in our country for many years and their importance is increasing.
Despite their strategic importance and common practices over the years, no unity of practice has been achieved in the relationship between companies in Turkey and companies established in free zones, or in many organizations between free zone branches and head offices in Turkey. For this reason, risky sales are seen in companies that buy or sell goods from free zones.
