New regulation for overdue tax debts

The "General Directorate of Accounts General Communiqué" on the deduction of overdue tax debts, legal withholding and other deductions in the payment documents of the Ministry of Treasury and Finance came into effect after being published in the Official Gazette.

Accordingly, until the payment process for the entire progress payment of the right holder is completed, the amount up to the amount to cover the overdue tax debt and other deductions of the right holder can be made by issuing a payment order document.

The procedures and principles regarding the execution of transactions related to payments within this scope in an electronic environment will be determined by the Ministry. The Ministry will also be authorized to determine different practices in terms of public administrations and payment types in transactions within the scope of the communiqué.

With the application, both the public receivables and the grievances of the beneficiaries, such as being under a burden such as interest due to the delay caused by waiting for all payments, not paying the tax on time, and being unable to participate in public tenders due to tax debts, will be prevented.
