|

|
Date: 15 February 2010
Title: Turkey/Italy and Turkey/Spain Prevention of Double Taxation Treaties and their Impact on Cross-border Transactions
Publishers: Lexis Nexis
Synopsis: The analysis addresses the issue of whether Articles 23/4 and 22/1/d of the Turkey/Italy and Turkey/Spain prevention of double taxation treaties offer a unique opportunity for cross-border financial structuring in relation to dividends, royalties and interest income. For the reasons set forth below this author believes that the deemed (notional) foreign tax credit available under the Spain/Turkey and Italy/Turkey tax treaties may offer additional benefits in relation to cross-border lending and investments in debt and equity issues, provided that local tax offices can be convinced to apply the international tax treaty provisions.

Real Property Law in Turkey: Purchasing Immovables and Acquiring Real Rights Over Immovables |
|
Date: 4 February 2010
Publishers: TerraLex
Synopsis: In recent years Turkey has seen positive developments in real property law, strengthening the country’s appeal as a venue for foreign investment. For members of the European Union in particular, incentives for the acquisition of immovables (e.g., lands, houses and farms) and real rights other than ownership over immovables by foreign real persons and legal entities are on the rise. From a legislative perspective the regulatory environment is complex – under the Constitution everyone is entitled to the right of ownership and inheritance, as long as the rights are not contrary to the public benefit; however, foreigners may find that the right of ownership may be restricted in compliance with international law.
