Turkey has decided not to move forward with an additional tax package that would have resulted in a levy on profits from stocks trading and crypto, the country’s Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz told Bloomberg on Monday.
“We don’t have a stocks tax on our agenda. It was discussed previously and fell from our agenda,” Yilmaz told Bloomberg, adding that officials’ focus in the coming period is going to be on “narrowing” tax exemptions.
In June, Turkey’s government decided to postpone plans to tax stocks following a decline in the country’s equity market due to news of additional taxes.
“We are postponing the draft tax study for the stock exchange for a while to re-evaluate in line with feedback from all relevant parties,” Turkish Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek said on X at the time.
