Turkish equity funds are classified as Equity Intensive Funds, which invest the majority of their portfolios in equities traded on Borsa Istanbul. Earnings from these funds are taxed with a 0% withholding tax within the framework of the Income Tax Law and Capital Markets Board regulations. In other words, investors can benefit from the earnings from the fund without any withholding tax deduction.
The tax and withholding rates applicable to dividend or profit share income obtained from the funds are clearly stated in the fund prospectus. In this way, investors can transparently monitor both fund returns and tax liabilities.
