Capital repatriation is not subject to government approval, but it is subject to applicable taxes. Dividend distributions to foreign shareholders are subject to a 15% withholding tax (raised from 10% effective 22 December 2024), which may be reduced under Turkey's double taxation treaties.
Suggested change
Removed a fabricated "our analysts" authority-voice instance; other factual content was checked and confirmed accurate. Also fixed the dividend withholding tax rate for payments to non-residents, which was raised from 10% to 15% effective December 22, 2024.
Why this is better
Turkey raised the domestic dividend withholding tax on payments to non-residents from 10% to 15% by Presidential Decree No. 9286, effective 22 December 2024; the article still cited the pre-2024 rate.
