In the first months of a new business, an entrepreneur's attention is usually on customers and the product. Tax registration, choosing the right regime and the first reports are often left for later. In this article we briefly explain where Estavor Mühasibat supports new businesses and how the process works.
Who is this service for?
- Those just starting out as individual entrepreneurs;
- Companies planning to set up an LLC or that have just been registered;
- Those unsure whether to choose the simplified tax or VAT;
- Those without an accountant who find it hard to keep track of reporting deadlines.
What do we do for a new business?
Services included in the "Başlanğıc" (Start) package on our website:
- Tax ID (VÖEN) registration and choice of tax regime — we determine together the regime that suits your activity;
- Simplified tax return — preparing and filing the report;
- Tax calendar and reminders — we notify you as deadlines approach;
- Responses to tax letters — reviewing requests received in your electronic account.
As your business grows, we also provide full bookkeeping, VAT and e-invoices, payroll and DSMF (State Social Protection Fund) reports, HR records and statistical reporting.
Good to know: tax regime and deadlines
- The reporting period for the simplified tax is a quarter: the return is filed by the 20th of the month following the quarter, and the tax is paid within the same deadline (Tax Code, Articles 221.2 and 221.3).
- The reporting period for VAT is a calendar month: the return is filed no later than the 20th of the month following the reporting month (Tax Code, Articles 177.2 and 178).
