Free Zone Investment Architecture and Feasibility Management
Incentive Legislation and Government Support Management
From Cost Management to Financial Leverage: Strategic Resource Planning
Strategic Framework: Free zone investments enjoy the most comprehensive tax advantages and government support in Türkiye. However, these supports are not an automatically functioning mechanism; they are a proactive process requiring a well-designed application and follow-up strategy.
This service encompasses the process of identifying, planning, and incorporating into financial statements all cash and non-cash incentives to which the investor is legally entitled.
Management Phases
Incentive Legislation and Government Subsidies Management
Incentive Analysis and Strategic Roadmap
The investment's sector, scale, and technological infrastructure are analyzed to determine eligibility for the Investment Incentive System (Regional/Priority/Strategic) and Free Zone-specific tax exemptions (Corporate Tax, Income Tax Withholding). The timing of each incentive's activation is meticulously planned.
Documentation and
Project Writing
Investment Incentive Certificate applications are prepared and submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the Ministry of Trade. This includes approval of imported and domestic machinery lists, customs exemption registration, and the technical preparation of project files for rent/employment incentives.
Payment Claim Tracking and
Closing
Obtaining the incentive certificate is just the beginning. The truly critical process involves ensuring that expenses are invoiced in accordance with regulations, that certified public accountants provide reports, and that the cash support (grants/repayments) is actually deposited into the company's accounts. The process is closed by obtaining a completion visa at the end of the investment.
Why is it critical?
Government subsidies are not a "bonus," but a fundamental financing item that directly impacts the feasibility of an investment. A well-managed incentive mechanism can subsidize the initial setup costs (CAPEX) of an investment by 30-40% and positively affect cash flow.
However, this process requires strict documentation discipline; a simple invoice error or a missed notification can result in millions of liras in support being lost and penalties being imposed.
ARC Approach
ARC Strategic Consulting views incentive management not as "paperwork tracking," but as "Project Financing Management." Our approach is based on ensuring that every expense of the investment is filtered through the incentive legislation. With our technical expertise in free zone regulations, we identify the most niche support items (Rent, Qualified Personnel, Trade Fairs, Market Entry, etc.) that fall within the scope of your investment.
Our goal is to ensure your business gets the most out of its financial resources without getting lost in the grey areas of bureaucracy.
