PREFACE





Dedicated to nıy de ar daughter, Defne






There have been a number of literatures written on tax lavv and Turkish Tax System; but concerning these fields, we find only few studies produced in English language mainly in 90s, most of vvhich now remain outdated due to often amendments made in the tax legislation upon the dynamic nature of the tax system. Under these circumstances, a need for such a study in English, vvhich covers the tax law and Turkish Tax System by also refleeting on the up-to-date legislation, has arisen for the private sector representatives do-ing business with the foreigners and the state authorities negotiating ıvith the foreign countries as vvell as the acade-micians/students who delivers/receives the tax courses in English in the sehools.







To satisfy this need, folloıving my first book named Tax Law and Turkish Tax System published in May 2009, this updated and enhanced book in English has been produced on the basis of a text which compiles the examined Turkish literatüre on the subject and the tax legislation and the relevant explanatory guidelines issued by the Presidency of Revenue Admimstration. Accordingly, this study does not in-tend to bring a nevv approach to the tax law or Turkish Tax System: however it aims at presenting a book in English, vvhich contains concise information gathered from various notable studies, legislation and guidelines vvritten up to now, to the use of ali interested parties.






in the first part, named Tax Law, ol this study, the book called Vergi Hukuku ve Türk Vergi Sistemi (Ders Notlan) by A. Işık, II. Yıldız, T. Gürdal, N. Al tun, N. Karaca, F. Aygen and T. Peran (produeed in 2004) is highly benefited from as the main source. in the second part, named Turkish Tax System, the legislation and guidelines published by Presi-deney of Revenue Adminıstration have been used to a great extent. The text produeed in this way have been introduced as notes during the courses that I have been personally giv-ing in the Universities of Bilkent and METU, and finally ma-tured by the feedback of students.







Furthermore, with a view to enlighten the Turkish mean-ing of the terminology used in this study, a glossary section is ineluded too.






I wish that this book, like the first one, will be useful to both the interested praetitioners and academicians.
