If this is real, why have I not heard of it?

Turkey has been reimbursing software export costs for years. But until 2026 the rules were fragmented, the caps were lower, and your Turkish entity had to be at least a year old before it could file. For a foreign team, it never looked worth the overhead.

In 2026, that changed completely.

One framework. Higher limits. No age requirement. A company incorporated today can file from its first quarter of spend.

The program is real. The paperwork is the hard part. Sworn-CPA certification, transfer pricing docs, quarterly filings in the right order. Most teams get stuck before the first payment arrives.

We've built the entire operation so you don't have to.

Calculating your reimbursement using the 2026 law...

Where do we send your breakdown?

Your quarterly reimbursement figure, cost breakdown, and the full program details — delivered straight to your inbox.

First, the honest part.

Paid acquisition is the only growth channel where the cost of the next customer is always higher than the cost of the last one.

Every company in your space is buying the same attention you are.

The price of that attention goes up every quarter, for everyone, without exception.

What the calculator shows you is what happens when a % of those costs comes back every quarter.

Here is what changes that.

The Turkish Ministry of Trade reimburses software companies for the spend you just described. Here is what it calculates for you.

Government programs do not ask you to trust them.
They ask you to file correctly.

Turkey operates a published, statute-based reimbursement framework for software export costs under Decree 10962, a public law that any lawyer can pull.

The Ministry pays against submitted filings.

The calculation is a fixed percentage of your reported spend, audited by a licensed CPA and verified against your ad platform invoices.

There is no approval committee.

If the spend was real and the filing is correct, the Ministry calculates what it owes and transfers it.

Your number is what happens when your reported spend meets the program's published rates.

The rates are fixed. The law is public.

The only remaining question is whether your entity is structured to file.

Where the number comes from, line by line.

Grant money flows through your Turkish entity, where a ~10% Turkish minimum tax applies to entity net profit and a 5–15% withholding applies when you move profit to your parent company.
The exact figure depends on your revenue routing. We model your precise net with your accountant on the call. It is a separate layer on profit extraction. It does not reduce the grant itself.

Every line here is set by the program or by us, against the same total. This is the same breakdown our CPA files with the Ministry each quarter. You can check every figure in under a minute.

What we charge, and when.

There are three things you pay us, and one small set of government memberships you pay directly. Nothing else.

Success fee: 10% of each grant 10%
Program management: the entire operation: entity, licensed CPA, transfer pricing, every quarterly filing, repatriation — / month
Setup: entity formation, all registrations, bank onboarding —, Year 1 only

Included every month: working sessions with growth specialists

Your program management also includes monthly working sessions with product, UI and UX, paid acquisition, and marketing specialists from our network.

The same operators who scale software companies at this level.

You are not only recovering ad spend.

You are recovering it alongside a team that helps you deploy the next round of it better.

The only thing you pay outside of us is a small set of mandatory Turkish authority memberships, roughly $1,500 a year, paid by the entity directly to the authorities.

Every figure above is already reflected in the quarterly and annual numbers you saw. The number that arrives is the number, with nothing taken out later. We built and run the entire operation for you. The only thing on your side is a signature, four times a year.

One thing before you decide.

The 30-minute call confirms whether your exact structure qualifies against the real eligibility rules, not the calculator's estimate. As soon as you book, you get a written brief built for your CFO and legal team.

NO DECISIONS ON THE CALL. THE LEGAL BRIEF IS YOURS EITHER WAY.

The reimbursement window covers your last 4 months of spend. Every month you wait, one month closes permanently. At your spend, that is -$108,860 monthly you cannot recover.

Five steps. That is the whole process.

Set up the Turkish company.

We file in Istanbul. ~3 weeks. One bank visit at setup for account onboarding. No relocation, no ongoing presence.

Keep running ads exactly as you do now.

Nothing changes in your campaigns or accounts.

Our CPA certifies and files quarterly.

You review a 1-page summary and sign. Under 20 minutes.

The Ministry reimburses you.

50–70% of qualifying spend into your Turkish account, quarterly.

The cash moves home.

We coordinate the banks and paperwork. FX already shown above.

One rule to know before you file.

Your total grant in a year can't exceed 1/3 of last year's revenue. In practice this only bites if you're spending big on ads relative to what you earn, if your revenue is at least 2.1× your ad spend, you're clear. Most active software companies are well past that, but it's worth knowing before your CPA files.

The questions your finance team will raise, answered.

Does this expose us to Turkish tax on global revenue?
The Turkish entity is a Turkish tax resident, but qualifying export income is 100% deductible under Decree 11257, so standard corporate tax effectively drops to zero. A domestic minimum tax of ~10% on pre-tax profit still applies, and that is what is already shown above. Routing revenue through the entity does not create new tax on the parent's other global income.
Is this double-taxation exposure?
Turkey holds active tax treaties with 90+ countries including the US, UK, Germany, Netherlands, Canada, and Australia. These govern exactly how grant income is treated at home. A country-specific brief is provided before anything starts.
What is the transfer pricing risk?
Transfer pricing documentation is the most common audit trigger in cross-border structures. We maintain it on your behalf and keep it audit-ready year-round.
Can we stop at any point?
Yes. Liquidating within 5 years triggers a routine Unjust Enrichment audit, with no clawback if filings were clean. Going dormant has no penalty.
What if the program changes?
Decree 10962 was published in 2026 and has no announced end date. The program has been running in earlier forms since 2019 and the 2026 framework significantly expanded both the caps and the eligible company types.
Can our investors see this structure?
Yes. The Turkish entity is a wholly foreign-owned limited company, a standard corporate structure. The grant program is public record and we provide a board-ready brief after booking.
You have seen the number, what it costs, and exactly how the structure works. The only thing left is confirming it fits your company.

30 MINUTES. NO DECISIONS ON THE CALL. THE BRIEF IS YOURS EITHER WAY.

The reimbursement window covers your last 4 months of spend. Every month you wait, one month closes permanently. At your spend, that is -$108,860 monthly you cannot recover.

Everything else.

Is this legal in my country?

Yes. Turkey has active tax treaties with 90+ countries. We check yours before anything starts. If your country isn't covered, we tell you immediately and don't take the engagement.

Do I need to move to Turkey?

No. 100% foreign ownership is permitted under Turkish commercial law. No relocation and no ongoing presence required. One bank visit at setup is needed for account onboarding, and that is it.

What does it cost me upfront?

Nothing upfront for the reimbursement itself. The setup fee, monthly bookkeeping, and $8,723/year compliance are already deducted from your breakdown above.

Does the 1/3 export rule affect my numbers?

In Year 1 it does not — the rule only applies from Year 2 onward. From Year 2, your total annual grant cannot exceed one-third of the prior year's service export revenue. If your export revenue is at least 2.1× your annual ad spend you are clear. The estimates above reflect the program caps, not this rule. Your actual ceiling in Year 2 depends on the revenue you route through the Turkish entity.

When do I see the first payment?

Typically 8–9 months from engagement, then quarterly after that as long as your spend continues.

What if I get audited?

Transfer pricing documentation is our core deliverable, it exists precisely to withstand audit. The Ministry audits a portion of filers annually.

What could go wrong?

The most common issue is inconsistent ad spend reporting where reported spend doesn't match invoices. Our bookkeeping layer prevents this. Beyond that, FX rates and home-country treaty interpretation are the two variables you cannot fully control.
