Payroll outsourcing in Turkey for foreign companies
If your company already has a Turkish legal entity, Turkuaz Payroll runs that entity’s payroll: gross-to-net pay, payslips and SGK filings, with reports in Turkish and English. You remain the employer. We are not an Employer of Record; if you have no Turkish employer, an EOR or an entity comes first.
What has to exist before we start
Payroll in Turkey is filed in the name of an employer registered with SGK. That employer is your Turkish limited company, joint-stock company, or registered branch. We calculate and file for that employer. You remain the employer.
The office is in Şişli, Istanbul: Behram Çavuş Sok. No:16 D:8, Şişli / İstanbul. Phone +90 (212) 909 07 58. Hours Mon–Fri 09:00–18:00 (TRT).
What the monthly work includes
Payroll calculation covers gross-to-net pay, payslips, overtime, bonuses and the bank file. SGK e-Bildirge covers the monthly premium and service declaration (APHB), missing days and sick leave, and SGK correspondence. Hiring and termination notices sit in onboarding and offboarding, including the registration notice before the start date.
We prepare the return data from payroll. Your own accountant (mali müşavir) files the muhtasar; if you don’t have one, our contracted, licensed SMMM (certified public accountant) partner files it. Your own accountant keeps the books.
Payroll reporting is in Turkish and English.
SGK incentive eligibility is checked employee by employee against the current regulation. Rates and conditions change with the file. The incentive analysis service is an eligibility review, a retroactive check, and a monthly cost report.
What we are not
We are not an Employer of Record. An EOR employs the person on its own Turkish entity, holds the employment contract as employer, and runs SGK in its own name. If you have no Turkish employer yet and you need someone else to be the employer, an EOR is the right fit.
If that is your situation, read payroll in Turkey without a local entity before you ask us to “just put them on payroll”.
Liability limits are clearly defined in the contract. For errors caused by us, we cover the cost of the error under the terms stated in the contract.
The team you deal with works with 10 years of experience.
