How does the general cost of living compare to the Europe?
• Fresh produce is great value for money. You’ll find most items up to 50% cheaper than in the Europe with electrical items being the most expensive. Also petrol prices are about the same as in the Europe. » Will I be taxed twice when taking money out of Turkey? • Turkey is part of a treaty against double taxation with several EU countries. In most cases you will not be taxed twice on your income. However, where there are differences between the rate of tax you pay at home and the rate you pay in Turkey you will most likely end up having to make up the difference. For example: if you were to sell your Turkish property for a profit and the amount of tax that you paid on that profit was lower in Turkey than it was at home then you might have to make up the difference in the rate at home. For more details regarding this matter we advise you speak to a lawyer or accountant in your home country.
