Administrative and Tax Law

Administrative and tax decisions can affect licences, property, immigration status and financial liabilities. We advise on objections, annulment, full-remedy and tax disputes before Turkish authorities and courts.

How we can assist

• Challenges to administrative decisions and sanctions
• Actions for annulment and full remedy
• Stay-of-execution applications
• Tax assessments, penalties and settlement procedures
• Licence, permit and public-authority disputes

How the process usually works

1. Initial assessment. We identify the parties, immediate deadlines, jurisdiction and the practical objective.
2. Document and evidence review. We examine the available records, explain gaps and identify evidence that should be preserved.
3. Strategy and action. We prepare the appropriate application, notice, negotiation or court proceeding under Turkish law.
4. Follow-up. We monitor service, hearings and decisions and explain the next step in clear English.

Important timing points

• Administrative and tax remedies commonly run from written notification and may be short.
• The complete decision, service record and any prior application should be reviewed before filing.

Deadlines depend on the exact decision, service method and legal basis. Please obtain individual advice before relying on a general period.

Documents to prepare

• Written decision, assessment or penalty
• Notification record and envelope
• Applications, objections and authority correspondence
• Licence, tax, payment and supporting records

Common mistakes to avoid

• Relying on an informal conversation instead of the written decision
• Applying to the wrong authority or court
• Missing the filing period while waiting for an optional response

Frequently asked questions

Can enforcement of an administrative decision be suspended?

A stay of execution may be requested where the statutory conditions are met. It is not automatic and requires a reasoned application supported by evidence.

When does the court period begin?

It generally depends on valid written notification and the type of decision or prior application. The file should be reviewed as soon as notice is received.
