Practical questions answered from primary sources
When does acquisition date become a material risk in property-sale capital-gain tax?
GİB’s current guidance says that real estate acquired for consideration and sold within five years can generate taxable capital gain; inherited or gratuitously acquired property is outside this capital-gain rule. The exemption for 2026 gains is TRY 150,000, and acquisition cost is indexed only where the relevant Yİ-ÜFE increase is at least 10%. A property sale can create income-tax exposure on capital appreciation depending on acquisition method/date and statutory exceptions. Do not confuse this with title-deed fees; they are separate obligations with different bases and records. Ask who issued the record, what period it covers, what inputs it used, and what changes if owner, use or transaction date changes.
What should a buyer keep in the file about acquisition date in property-sale capital-gain tax, specifically acquisition date?
Ask who issued the record, what period it covers, what inputs it used, and what changes if owner, use or transaction date changes. GİB explains that disposal of certain properties within five years of acquisition can fall under capital-gain rules and lists the 2026 exemption amount as TRY 150,000. This is annual and must be rechecked for the sale year.

Questions that clarify the seller’s tax record
A buyer does not calculate the seller’s final income tax, but the tax history can affect the credibility of dates, declared values and documents in the transaction file. Ask when and how the seller acquired the property, which document proves that acquisition date, whether it was acquired for consideration or gratuitously, and what price and costs are supported by records. GİB’s 2026 guidance explains the five-year capital-gain rule for qualifying real estate, the 2026 exemption of TRY 150,000 and the Yİ-ÜFE indexation condition. The buyer should also ask whether the declared transfer value used for title procedures is consistent with the actual transaction. These questions are meant to expose contradictions; the seller’s individual tax calculation should still be confirmed through current GİB rules or professional tax advice.
