It is asked whether there is a tax exemption for the income that a software engineer will earn by working remotely in a technology company headquartered in Estonia.
According to the Income Tax Law:
The person must reside in Turkey and the income earned from abroad must be evaluated within the scope of freelance income. Freelance income is income earned from services provided independently based on personal overtime, professional knowledge or expertise. In the text, the service provision contract is examined and it is stated that the person works independently and assumes responsibility for the service.
As a result:
Income earned from software engineering services provided remotely to a technology company headquartered in Estonia will be taxed as freelance income.
