The
double taxation agreement between Turkey and Canada was signed in 2009, in Ottawa. Turkey has an extensive range of treaties on the avoidance of
double taxation of foreign companies that operate on Turkish territory.
The
Turkey - Canada double tax treaty was signed as an agreement for the
avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion on income and on capital. Foreign business people who want to
register a company in Turkey can benefit from varied tax deductions if their company is a tax resident of one of the states that Turkey has a
double tax treaty with.
