Guarantee Bonds Are Now Accepted as Collateral

Law No. 7417 was published in the Official Gazette No. 31887 on 05/07/2022.

With this Law, the first paragraph of Article 10 titled “Guarantee and its valuation” of Law No. 6183 on the Collection Procedure of Public Receivables has been amended. As a result of this change, it is now possible to accept guarantee bonds issued by insurance companies under surety insurance as collateral.

Surety insurance is one of the products that provide collateral against the risk of the debtor failing to fulfill an obligation arising from a contract or law. It is expected that the surety bonds issued under this scope will become an important instrument, particularly in VAT refunds, withholding tax refunds, and debt installments.
