What you get
-
Strategic planning and correct coding
We structure your investment around the right incentive region and sector code. We prevent coding errors that would cost you support you are entitled to, and work to have your project start at the correct support rates. -
Easier cash flow
We prepare the lists so that the VAT exemption and customs duty exemption on machinery and equipment purchases are applied under the certificate. This way, we help you put your capital into the investment, not into tax. -
Tax reduction during the operating period
Once the investment is complete and you start generating income, we plan the process so that the reduced corporate tax rate is applied correctly. This reduction can shorten the investment’s payback period. -
Lower employment costs
We prepare your application for support with the employer’s share of social security (SGK) premiums for your staff and follow the process. We plan how to use support spread over the years for labour costs, one of your largest operating expenses. -
Careful revision and closure
We enter changes to the investment into the system on time. We manage the closing process, the most critical stage, with great care, reducing the risk of the incentives being cancelled. -
Time saved, focus kept
We handle all the paperwork in the E-TUYS system, prepare the lists and follow up with the Ministry. Instead of wrestling with complex legislation, you put your energy into getting the investment built.
How does the investment incentive process work?
-
We assess your investment against the incentive system by subject and location.
-

What determines the fee for Investment Incentive Consulting?
There is no single tariff. The fee is set for your business based on the size of the investment, the programme applied for, the scope of the file and the region where the investment is located.
Let’s talk about which programme fits your investment and which support items you can use.

Investment incentive consulting: what does it involve?
Investment Incentive Consulting means defining your planned investment in line with the support the legislation provides, and managing the application process end to end.
At FIX, we place your investment in the right programme, prepare your incentive certificate application meticulously and run the Ministry processes on your behalf. The goal is not just to obtain a certificate, but to raise your investment’s return for good through the support items.
How do you choose an investment incentive consultancy?
In investment incentives, how the application is structured directly determines how much support you receive. Check these criteria:
- Programme matching expertiseChoose a firm that correctly identifies which programme covers your investment; the programme sets the support limit.
- Discipline in file preparationA team that analyses each application criterion and builds a complete file keeps the risk of rejection to a minimum.
- Process tracking and transparencyLook for a reporting routine that shows which stage your application is at.
- Regional and sector knowledgeSupport measures vary by region and sector, so a team that knows local legislation makes a difference.
- Post-investment follow-upChoose a partner that also runs the completion and closure processes after the incentive certificate is issued.
Detailed guide
Investment incentive programmes: which one fits you?
The New Investment Incentive System is built on strategic, technological and regional programmes under Development Incentives (Türkiye Century Initiative).
The subject and location of your investment determine which programme it falls under:
| Programme | Who it’s for | Key support items |
|---|---|---|
| Technology Incentives | Investors in high value-added, high-technology production | Tax reductions, cash support, infrastructure facilities |
| Strategic Incentives | Investments in products that replace imports | Tax reduction (contribution 40%, reduction 60%), interest or machinery support |
| Priority Incentives | Investments classed as “Priority Investments” under the legislation | VAT exemption, customs duty exemption, tax reduction (contribution 30%) and interest support |
| Local Development Incentives | Investments that match their province’s call guidelines | Machinery support (25%), interest support, tax reduction (contribution 50%) |
| Sectoral and Regional Incentives | Investments positioned according to the regional incentive map | Interest support and long-term SGK incentives |
Alongside these programmes, we also assess the opportunities under the Target Incentives programme.
For the certificate process, the common output of all programmes, see our Investment Incentive Certificate page. For the current legislation and official application procedures of each programme, refer to the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Industry and Technology.
