Many Internet companies, software is basically doing the job. Physical product sellers and put it aside because it does not appeal to them to talk about the law. Selling an Internet service or software, so the biggest salaries and office rent expense items, consider what happened.
All of the turnover of these companies generated higher profits from the service over the high-income tax paying. Starting out with a small team, £ 100,000 per month-as-they can say rescues up until they reach a turnover of these companies should benefit from Technopark necessarily think that umbrella.

There is currently empty office building, as well as more than a year before the completion of construction on a new building does not seem possible.

ITU in building a new situation ARI3 made as follows: Square rental rates minus 14 Euros from the fourth floor, eighth floor, gradually increasing up to 20 euros. ITU is a one-year advance rent and a deposit of 3 months, 5-year requirement of signing the contract says.

Operating in the state of our readers tell us in their own regions Technopark, may update this section.
After entering a teknopark'a waiting for you ... Let's developments
Operating in Technopark, R & D activity, conducts or substances specified by law must pay attention to the appropriate software-producing companies have some of the topics. All of these benefit from the advantages mentioned, the boundaries of the subject should know better.
R & D is an abstract concept, but rather a concrete tax legislation. Therefore, the issue is not open to interpretation, which can not be documented during a tax review, comment-based defenses will not benefit. To avoid this situation, some important notes that must be considered are as follows:
The management company offers to enter Teknopark'a projects, and those approved are starting to develop technological parks office. R & D and software activities in continuing to spend a tax investigation, the administrator of the company projects to be approved, does not make you exempt from the law enforcement items. So Technopark management responsibility for projects, achieve and maintain compliance with the law, not completely, and only you.
Emerged as a result of the employment activity of a product or service, sell it and start billing. Your earnings from this activity, tax exempt corporation. But let's say a customer, the nature of R & D for this product, again asked for an additional development providing it. But you did not inform the management company of this development, and it has not entered records ... you get this development to gain, is not exempt from corporation tax. In case of an audit, technology development zone file and asked to provide annual reports, compared to cut bills. Explanations on the receipts, must be the same as teknopark'a statements provided in the project. But this is not enough, your customers may be asked in your agreement, and also checked the contents of the contract. Therefore, before income tax return, tell teknopark'a projelerinizdeki important innovations and changes.
If the software development and maintenance activity, you must parse them. Let's say that software development is a three-year contract with a bank there. As always allocate a portion of this activity is not an exception and a separate invoice must disconnect service or license fee bill. For example, the first year, 10%, 25% in the second year the third year, 30% of the isolate in this way would be reasonable. Because part of the development work is reduced in subsequent years, the marketing part of the rise. Although it develops product is therefore continuous, decreasing R & D activity. Here, the following general approach should be: the law to you in a serious tax exemption provides. But the boundaries are drawn. You stretches the limits of the law not covered by the revenues of the attempt to retrieve the scope of the exemption, it is considered bad faith.
Teknopark'a Teknopark'a enter a project before you start, set for this product is soon cut the bill, as developed here for the full bill to keep in the product. This is not suitable for the ordinary course of life. Therefore, the project is already cut a portion of the invoice fazlandırarak separator.
R & D costs must create and parse the two income statement. General Manager fees, depreciation, how you distribute your marketing in a review asked questions first. Interest income, revenues arising from exchange differences are not subject to exemption, they should also be calculated separately.
In addition, maintenance, training time was spent outside technopark no exception for such purposes are not covered by the team. The income tax exemption for salary, Technopark is passed, and is valid for the specified period of time allocated to the project. A situation encountered in 90% of tax investigations is this: People interested in the project shown Technopolis 30 days, but the city or abroad, showing that the plane, bus, hotel, spending bills, shown as an item of expense for such a case, not only that person, be canceled until the beginning of the year all income tax exemptions.
Premiums paid to the personnel income tax exemption is subject to reasonable amounts, but does not include employer's share of SSI.
Ministries of Finance and Industry, we now have a web application used teknopark'larda few man-ay'lık study how the project would also arise, how much income is the sale of this product, so the exemption realized how much information can be viewed in real time. I think this is the biggest contribution of entrepreneurs in the state will benefit from this law, I think that it helps to inform each company. My experiences on this subject @ ekimnazimkaya Twitter account I'm ready to share.
