About the Availability of 3 Term Accounts for PDP Taxpayers at TLMKKD

Pursuant to Article 4 of the Communiqué No. 2021/14 on Supporting the Conversion to Turkish Lira Deposit and Participation Accounts, real persons could open currency-protected deposit accounts with a minimum maturity of 3 months, while this maturity was applied as a minimum of 6 months for legal entities. With the Central Bank Communiqué No. 2022/9 published in the Official Gazette dated 07/03/2021 and numbered 31771, the possibility to open currency-protected deposit accounts with a minimum maturity of 3 months was introduced for corporate taxpayers.

According to the amendment made in the fourth paragraph of Article 5 of Communiqué No. 2021/14, the Central Bank may allow Turkish lira deposit or participation accounts opened within the scope of this practice to be renewed at the end of maturity, and the renewed accounts will continue to benefit from the support over the foreign currency amount and conversion rate converted at the first opening.

The relevant Central Bank Communiqué is available here.
