For example, Residential properties have lower annual taxes compared to commercial properties in Turkey, and the same is true for buying properties in Turkish cities compared to buying properties in Turkish metropolitan cities that pay more annual taxes.
For this reason, many foreign investors choose Turkey as an investment destination because the real estate market has a high potential and is constantly growing.
Another great advantage is the exemption from property tax in Turkey for those who own a single house with a maximum area of 200 square meters.
