ITIN: Essential for Starting Your Business in Turkey

An ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) is a critical requirement for foreign partners looking to establish a business in Turkey. It serves as a unique 10-digit number used to identify individuals for tax purposes, making it a mandatory step in the company formation process. Without an ITIN, the registration process with the Trade Registry Office cannot proceed, which is why obtaining one is one of the first steps for foreign founders.

ETITAX’s experienced team simplifies the process, ensuring your ITIN is issued within 3-5 business days, provided all required documents, such as a notarized power of attorney and a notarized passport, are ready. For those present in Turkey during the establishment process, obtaining an ITIN is even easier, requiring no additional documentation, and comes with a 50% discount when processed through ETITAX.

What Is an ITIN and Why Do You Need It?

An ITIN is a tax identification number specifically designed for individuals who are not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN). In Turkey, it is used to facilitate compliance with tax regulations, allowing foreign partners to participate in the company formation process. Without an ITIN, foreign founders cannot proceed with registering their business at the Trade Registry Office, making it an essential document for starting your business in Turkey.
