Tax & Exemptions

Tax and Exemption Management

The cost structure of international trade includes customs duty, VAT, SCT and additional fiscal charges. Voltim minimises your tax burden through correct regime selection and proper exemption use.

Regimes and Exemptions We Manage

  • Inward Processing Regime (IPR): Tax exemption on imports for export
  • Outward Processing Regime: Goods processed abroad and re-imported
  • Temporary Import: Exhibitions, demos, repairs
  • Investment Incentive Certificates: Machinery and equipment exemptions
  • VAT Refund: Exports and tax-deferred sales refund
  • Tariff Exemptions: Anti-dumping, safeguard, additional fiscal exemptions
  • Tax Reassessment: Incorrect levy objection and correction

Preferential Origin and Trade Agreements

EU Community Preferential Origin, Turkey–UK FTA, Turkey–EFTA, Turkey–South Korea FTA — when used correctly, can completely eliminate or significantly reduce customs duty. Voltim's regulatory team recommends the optimal origin strategy per product. See regulatory consulting for details.

  • VAT refund tracking and file preparation
  • Correction petitions for incorrect tax assessments
  • Anti-dumping exemption applications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Inward Processing Regime (IPR) and what advantage does it offer?
The Inward Processing Regime (IPR) is a customs regime that provides tax exemption on imports intended for export. Inputs used to manufacture goods that will subsequently be exported can be imported under this regime with the benefit of the exemption. Voltim manages IPR alongside the Outward Processing Regime and temporary import for exhibitions, demos and repairs, minimising the tax burden of your import-export operations through correct regime selection.
Which tax regimes and exemptions does Voltim manage?
Voltim manages the Inward Processing Regime (IPR), the Outward Processing Regime, temporary import for exhibitions, demos and repairs, machinery and equipment exemptions under investment incentive certificates, VAT refunds on exports and tax-deferred sales, and tariff exemptions covering anti-dumping, safeguard and additional fiscal charges. It also handles objections and corrections against incorrect tax assessments. The aim is to minimise your tax burden through correct regime selection and proper exemption use.
How does the VAT refund on exports work?
The VAT refund allows companies to recover VAT relating to exports and tax-deferred sales. Voltim supports this process with VAT refund tracking and file preparation: the required documentation is compiled in full, the refund file is prepared and the application is followed up until completion. This prevents VAT, a significant element in the cost structure of international trade, from remaining a burden on your operations.
Can customs duties be reduced through trade agreements and preferential origin?
Yes. Agreements such as EU Community Preferential Origin, the Turkey–UK FTA, Turkey–EFTA and the Turkey–South Korea FTA can, when used correctly, completely eliminate or significantly reduce customs duty. Preferential origin relies on properly documenting that the goods meet the applicable origin conditions. Voltim's regulatory team recommends the optimal origin strategy for each product and ensures the exemption is applied correctly.
What can be done in case of an incorrect tax assessment or wrongful levy?
An incorrect tax assessment can be challenged through an objection and correction process. Within this scope, Voltim prepares correction petitions against incorrect tax assessments, conducts tariff classification appeals, files anti-dumping exemption applications and manages pre-litigation settlement procedures. This allows financial burdens arising from erroneous taxation to be corrected before the matter reaches court.
