Common Questions
Accounting and tax support in Turkey: frequently asked questions
Straight answers about our scope, client profile, reporting approach, and professional status.
What services does Celikel CPA provide?
Celikel CPA provides corporate accounting, tax compliance, payroll outsourcing, company formation, and business consulting in Turkey. We support foreign investors and international companies with statutory bookkeeping, VAT filings, social security registrations, and regular financial reporting.
Who does your accounting firm in Istanbul serve?
Our accounting firm in Istanbul primarily serves international businesses, foreign-invested subsidiaries, branches, and liaison offices in Turkey. We tailor our services to the reporting and compliance needs of global finance directors, founders, and cross-border management teams.
What are the main tax compliance obligations for companies in Turkey?
A Turkish company’s filing calendar depends on its activities, transactions, employees, and current tax status. Corporate tax, VAT, withholding, payroll, and electronic-document obligations may apply on different schedules. We map the applicable declarations and e-document requirements during onboarding instead of assuming every company has the same filing profile.
Do you reconcile Turkish tax filings with international standards such as IFRS?
Yes. Where required, we reconcile local statutory bookkeeping prepared under Turkish tax rules with IFRS, US GAAP, or a parent company’s reporting package. This helps global CFOs and parent companies consolidate the financial results of their Turkish operations.
Which languages does Celikel CPA support for client communication?
We serve clients in English, Turkish, Russian, Chinese and Arabic. Official filings, tax returns and correspondence with Turkish authorities are handled in Turkish. The working language, report format, document requests and approval responsibilities are agreed when the engagement starts.
Is Celikel CPA a licensed SMMM firm in Turkey?
Yes. Celikel CPA operates as a licensed Serbest Muhasebeci Mali Müşavirlik (SMMM) practice in Turkey. The firm supports statutory bookkeeping, tax filings, payroll compliance, and related reporting under the professional responsibilities applicable to Turkish SMMM practitioners.
