A technology development zone (teknoloji geliştirme bölgesi, TGB) is a site on or next to a university where firms do research, software and design work. It is also known as a teknokent (technology town) or a teknopark (technology park). Law 4691 sets tax relief for some of that work until 31.12.2028, and the Ministry of Industry and Technology (Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı) keeps the list of zones.

In short · checked 29.10.2026

Research, software and design work, some of it taxed less until 31.12.2028.

  • What: a site on or next to a university where firms do research and development (R&D, Ar-Ge), software and design work.
  • Who runs it: a managing company (yönetici şirket) runs each zone. The ministry is the state body over it.
  • Who can work there: firms and entrepreneurs with a research, design or software project that the managing company accepts.
  • What the law sets: five kinds of relief, each with its own condition. Four of them end on 31.12.2028.
  • Outside the zone: some time outside is covered for staff pay. The law sets a share and lets the President change it.
  • Investment obligation: a firm with large exempt earnings has to move part of them into venture-capital funds or start-ups. If it does not, part of the exemption is lost that year.
  1. A project. A firm or an entrepreneur has a research, design or software project.
  2. The managing company. The firm applies to it. Its commission looks at the project.
  3. Project acceptance. A suitable project gets a project acceptance document (Proje Kabul Belgesi).
  4. A place. The firm rents an office, a building or land in the zone. Buying is not possible.
  5. The tax rules. The relief applies to work done in the zone.

Ask in Turkish

  • Yazılım geliştirme işinde görev yapan çalışanımız için gelir vergisi stopajı teşvikinden yararlanabilir miyiz?Can a software staff member use the income tax withholding incentive?
  • Projemizin Ar-Ge, tasarım veya yazılım projesi olarak kabul edilmesi için hangi bilgiler ve belgeler gerekiyor?Which details and papers are needed for the project to be accepted as an R&D, design or software project?

The pass restates the rules of the chapters here, as the ministry’s form of 28.08.2023 and GİB’s 2026 guides word them. It does not judge a case.

What a zone is and what it is for

A technology development zone is a site beside or near a university, a high-technology institute or a public research centre. Firms that work in new or advanced technology use the university’s means there to develop technology or software and to turn an invention into a product, a method or a service.

Who runs a zone and who stands over it

Each zone has a managing company (yönetici şirket), a joint-stock company responsible for running it. The Ministry of Industry and Technology stands over it.

The managing company

  • Projects: its commission looks at each project application.
  • Space: it rents offices, buildings and land to the firms.
  • Incubator: it runs the building for young firms.
  • Consents: it approves the VAT exemption on software, outside-zone work and study time outside.
  • Social security: it checks that employers who get the support meet their duties. If one does not, it tells the local social-security office within 10 working days.
State body

Sanayi ve Teknoloji Bakanlığı

The Ministry of Industry and Technology. It keeps the list of zones, permits serial production, states its opinion on work permits for foreign staff and is told when staff or project work goes outside the zone.

The state body over every zone

Who can work in one and how a firm gets in

Firms and entrepreneurs (girişimci: a person or a company that wants or uses the zone’s services) with a research, design or software project. They rent; they cannot buy.

Four ways in

Tap one.

The firm applies to the managing company with its research and development, design or software project. The company’s commission looks at it. A project found suitable gets a project acceptance document (Proje Kabul Belgesi), and the firm is offered a place to rent: an office, a building or land to build on.

A person with an idea or a project and no company that pays income or corporate tax yet can join pre-incubation (ön kuluçka): advice, mentoring and a check of the idea. The managing company can allot a place in the incubator for up to 18 months.

An incubator (kuluçka merkezi) is a building where young firms get office services, equipment, management support and technical help under one roof. Rent may not be more than 50 % of the zone’s rate, or 25 % for a firm with a publicly funded R&D project. A place is allotted for up to 36 months, by the length of the R&D project.

Production in series (seri imalat) is allowed only for the technological product of an R&D or design project that started and finished in a zone, in the high-technology fields the ministry announces. The managing company approves and the ministry permits it. The books keep it apart. Its gains and its staff are taxed like a firm outside a zone.

Which people are staff

R&D staff (Ar-Ge personeli)
Researchers (at least a bachelor’s degree), software developers and technicians working directly on research.
Design staff (tasarım personeli)
Designers and technicians working directly on design.
Support staff (destek personeli)
Managers, technical staff, lab assistants, secretaries, workers and the like attached to research or design work.
University and public staff
They may work in a zone with their employer’s permission. Academics may start or join a firm there, and take management posts, with their university board’s permission.
Foreign staff
Foreign managers and foreign R&D or design staff with at least a bachelor’s degree can work there. The ministry states its opinion on the work-permit application.

What the law sets and for whom

Five kinds of relief apply to work in a zone. Each has its own condition. Four of them end on 31.12.2028. None applies to serial production.

Gains

The firm’s earnings

Gains from software, design and R&D work done only in the zone are exempt (istisna) from corporate tax (kurumlar vergisi, the tax on a company’s profit) or income tax (gelir vergisi).

Until 31.12.2028

Wages

Tax withheld on staff pay

The income tax an employer withholds from pay (gelir vergisi stopajı) is written off on the monthly declaration, for R&D, design and support staff, up to 40 times the gross minimum wage.

Until 31.12.2028

Social security

Half of the employer’s share

The State pays half of the employer’s share of the social-security premium (SGK primi) for the covered staff.

Until 31.12.2028

VAT

Software deliveries

Deliveries of application software made only in the zone are exempt from value added tax (KDV) while the gains exemption lasts. The managing company approves; the tax office takes the application.

Until 31.12.2028

Customs and stamp duty

Imports and papers of zone projects

Goods imported for zone projects are exempt from customs duty (gümrük vergisi) and funds. Papers and transactions for them are exempt from stamp duty (damga vergisi) and fees.

Software, R&D, innovation and design projects

Illustration: three colleagues seen from behind at one long desk, facing three monitors that show coloured blocks, with a window onto a campus lawn
Illustration: a small team at work in a zone office.

The conditions

  • Only the zone: the gains exemption covers gains from software, design and R&D work done only in the zone.
  • Support staff: the number covered may not be more than 10 % of the R&D and design staff, or 20 % in a firm of up to 15 staff. Fractions are rounded up.
  • Not twice: a taxpayer who uses the exemption for income from patented inventions cannot also use the zone exemption.
  • Serial production: its gains and its staff are taxed like a firm outside a zone.
  • Capital support: until 31.12.2028, capital that a taxpayer puts into a zone firm for its projects is deducted from the giver’s profit, up to 10 % of the profit and 20 % of equity.

The pay cap of 40 times the gross minimum wage applies to wages from 01.08.2025 (Law 7555). The software types: system management, data management, business, sector, internet, game, mobile and military command and control.

Working outside the zone and the 20 % share

The relief is for work done in the zone. For staff pay, some time outside is covered too: the law sets a share and lets the President change it.

Pay for time outside the zone

The law sets 20 %, and the President may raise it up to 100 %.

20 % of a firm’s zone staff, or of the hours they work: the share the law sets.

Up to 100 % is the most the President may set, for regions, sectors or professions. The President may also bring it back to the legal share.

1½ and 2 years of study time outside, for a master’s and for a doctorate.

As the ministry’s form of 28.08.2023 states them.

  • Project work that has to be done outside: its pay is covered in the part the President sets, up to 100 %. The managing company approves and the ministry is told.
  • In addition, a share of time: up to 20 % of the staff or of the hours. The ministry’s form names no approval or notice for this share.
  • Study time: postgraduate study outside is covered for up to 1½ years (master’s) and 2 years (doctorate), with the managing company’s approval and notice to the ministry.
  • Dated decisions: decisions raised the share for set periods in 2022 and 2023; both ended on 31.12.2023. A later decision may apply.

Ask which share applies now

  • Bölge dışında çalışma payı bu yıl yüzde kaç ve hangi onay veya bildirim gerekiyor?What is the outside-zone share this year, and which approval or notice is needed?

Source: ministry form on incentives, text of 28.08.2023 (the decisions it names: 5806 of 21.07.2022 and 7103 of 20.04.2023).

The investment obligation for large exempt earnings

A firm whose exempt earnings reach a set size has to move part of them into venture-capital funds or into start-ups in zone incubators within the same year.

  1. The threshold. The exempt earnings on the annual return reach the threshold.
  2. A temporary account. A set share of those earnings is put into a temporary account.
  3. Invested by year end. The sum buys shares of venture-capital investment funds (girişim sermayesi yatırım fonu) or venture-capital trusts, or goes as capital into start-ups in the zone incubators.

The law’s base figures

Threshold
1,000,000 TL of exempt earnings on the annual return
Share
2 %
Cap
20,000,000 TL a year
The President
May lower the figures to 0 or raise them up to five times
Date
As the ministry’s form of 28.08.2023 prints them

If it is not done in time

20 % of the exempt earnings cannot be treated as exempt that year. The tax that was not collected is assessed without a tax-loss penalty.

A later decision can change the figures.

Ask for this year’s figures

  • Bu yıl için girişim sermayesi yatırım yükümlülüğünün eşik tutarı, oranı ve üst sınırı nedir?What are this year’s threshold, share and cap for the investment obligation?

Source: ministry form on incentives, text of 28.08.2023. Taxpayers whose exempt earnings reach the threshold on the annual return are covered.
