Closing check
Before closing, use a current record or query rather than an old screenshot when the underlying data can change.
Practical questions answered from primary sources
What should a foreign buyer know about deductible sale costs and fees 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. Before closing, use a current record or query rather than an old screenshot when the underlying data can change.
Is a seller or agent statement enough to prove deductible sale costs and fees in property-sale capital-gain tax, specifically deductible sale costs and fees?
Before closing, use a current record or query rather than an old screenshot when the underlying data can change. 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.

Tax-record checks at the time of sale
Before the sale is treated as complete, preserve the acquisition evidence and the closing evidence in one tax file: acquisition date and method, supported acquisition cost, sale date, actual consideration, title-fee declaration, seller-paid eligible costs and any indexation inputs. GİB’s current guidance should be used for the sale year because exemption amounts and filing dates are annual. For 2026 gains, the published exemption is TRY 150,000; the five-year rule and Yİ-ÜFE indexation conditions must be applied to the seller’s actual facts. Do not use the title-deed fee receipt as a substitute for the income-tax analysis. The registry transaction and capital-gain calculation are related to the same sale but are different obligations with different records.
