Legal and tax coordination in Turkey: decide before you act
In Turkey, a private decision quickly becomes a legal, tax and patrimonial decision: residence, property purchase, company setup, bank account, transfer of funds, insurance, succession, family and foreign income. Bosphoras does not replace lawyers or tax advisors. Our role is strategic: ask the right questions before signature, coordinate qualified professionals and help you understand the consequences before you act.
Many projects begin with an opportunity: an apartment in Istanbul, a villa in Bodrum, a company to create, a residence application, a bank account. But when legal and tax questions come after the decision, the client may discover risks too late: poorly anticipated tax residence, unsuitable company structure, undocumented banking flows, weak contracts or insufficient property checks. Bosphoras brings the analysis upstream.
Understand the client profile, residence country and source of funds
Identify sensitive issues before purchase, incorporation or family relocation
Prepare the right questions for lawyers, tax advisors, accountants and banks
Avoid quick promises on tax, residence, citizenship or returns
02
Legal, tax and patrimonial coordination
A project in Turkey should not be assessed only from Turkey. A French, Kazakh, British, Gulf or other resident does not face the same obligations or risks. Bosphoras coordinates a cross-border reading: Turkish law, local taxation, tax rules in the departure country, property, company, banking, family and asset protection.
Tax residence and administrative residence: two different subjects
Turkish company: real activity, accounting, VAT, payroll, banking and compliance
Property: title, contract, payment, succession and potential rental use
Banking and transfers: documentation, compliance, source of funds and timing

What Bosphoras does — and does not do
Our position is deliberately clear. Bosphoras is not a law firm, does not provide regulated tax opinions and does not promise administrative outcomes. We prepare the file, select the right contacts, organize exchanges, translate the issues, centralize decisions and make sure the client is not left alone with disconnected providers.
Coordination with lawyers, tax advisors, accountants, notaries, banks and insurers
Preparation of documents, questions, priorities and scenarios to review
Confidential follow-up of exchanges and next steps
No replacement of regulated professionals and no promised result

Common cases: residence, company, property, family
The initial need may seem simple: live in Turkey, buy property, create a company, open an office, protect the family or organize income. In practice, these subjects overlap. A company may change tax exposure. A property purchase may raise succession issues. Family relocation may create obligations in several countries. A fund transfer may require clean documentation.
Full or partial relocation to Turkey
Company formation, holding, consulting, import-export or international services
Property purchase, rental, second home or family base
Coordination with existing advisors in France, Kazakhstan, Dubai, the UK or other jurisdictions
05
A method designed for international clients
True luxury is not speed. It is not making the wrong decision. Bosphoras operates like a private desk: assessment, risk mapping, professional selection, appointment coordination, document follow-up and decision synthesis. The client keeps one point of contact while each sensitive issue remains handled by the qualified professional.
Confidential assessment of personal, family, tax and professional situation
Legal and tax roadmap before any major decision
Local coordination in Istanbul, Bodrum and Antalya when needed

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Is Bosphoras a law firm or tax firm?
+
No. Bosphoras is a private coordination desk. Legal and tax opinions are delivered by qualified professionals. Bosphoras organizes, filters, prepares and coordinates the exchanges.
Can you analyze my tax residence between my country and Turkey?
+
Bosphoras can coordinate the analysis with tax advisors in the relevant jurisdictions. Tax residence depends on precise criteria and should never be decided on a simple impression.
Do I need a Turkish company to invest or work?
+
Not always. A company may help in some cases, but may be unnecessary or risky in others. Real activity, banking, accounting, VAT, payroll, flows and personal tax exposure should be reviewed first.
Can you help secure a property purchase in Turkey?
+
Bosphoras can coordinate checks with lawyers, selected agents, notaries or qualified professionals. The objective is to understand title, contract, payment, risks and patrimonial consequences.
Does Bosphoras guarantee a tax benefit in Turkey?
+
No. No tax advantage should be promised without analysis. Bosphoras favors a prudent, documented and compliant approach.
Can I keep my existing advisors?
+
Yes. Bosphoras can coordinate with your existing lawyers, tax advisors, family office or accountants to avoid contradictions between countries.
