What is tax confidentiality and which law protects it in Turkey?

Tax confidentiality is a statutory protection under Article 5 of the Tax Procedure Law No. 213, prohibiting the sharing of taxpayer financial information with unauthorized individuals or entities.

Who is legally allowed to access my tax records?

Only authorized tax office personnel, parties designated by a court order, and institutions explicitly permitted by law may access your tax information.

Does the KVKK personal data law apply to tax records?

Yes. The Revenue Administration processes personal data and is subject to the Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698. Taxpayers may invoke KVKK Article 11 rights to request access, correction, or deletion of their data.

How can I prove a tax confidentiality violation?

Proving a violation can be difficult. You may begin by requesting access logs for your own record from the tax office and then file a complaint with the KVKK Authority if you believe unauthorized disclosure occurred.

How long does it take for a KVKK complaint to be resolved?

The Personal Data Protection Authority typically resolves applications within 60 days. Tax office responses to record access requests usually come within 30 days, depending on case volume.
