The Turkish Parliament approved a package of economic measures: tax relief and debt restructuring for up to 72 months

During a plenary session held on May 21, 2026, the Turkish Parliament approved a comprehensive economic legislative package. According to reports from several news channels in Turkey, the move is intended to encourage investment and alleviate the economic burden on citizens and businesses.

Restructuring debts to the Social Security Institution

The central component of the legislation, as reported in Son Dakika Haberler Gündem and Sansürsüz Gündem, is the approval of a bill allowing for the restructuring of debts to the Social Security Institution (SGK) for a period of up to 72 months. This is a significant relief for debtors seeking to settle their obligations with the authorities.

Tax benefit package and investment incentives

In addition to the debt settlement, Haber Gündem reports that the bill includes other significant benefits:

• Tax exemption: Granting tax exemptions on certain incomes originating from outside Turkey.


• Investment incentives: New tax benefits for technology ventures, manufacturing companies, and the Istanbul Financial Center.

Another source, TGRT HABER, emphasized that within the framework of these measures, an "Asset Peace" (Varlık barışı) program was also approved, granting significant exemptions and tax reductions for those who transfer their assets and profits back to Turkey.

All sources covering the issue are identified with mainstream media in Turkey, which presents the steps as part of a government economic strategy to encourage growth and stabilize the financial system.
