In this video, I explained my process for obtaining the Social Media Content Creator Exemption Certificate and my experiences. This certificate, which went into effect in Türkiye in 2022, provides tax exemptions for those earning income from certain online activities. To qualify, you must be engaged in one of the following activities and generate income from them:

• Earnings earned by social content creators who share content such as text, images, audio, and video on social networking sites, and by individuals who develop applications for mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets, as of January 1, 2022.

• Earnings earned by social content creators who share content such as text, images, audio, and video on the internet and similar electronic platforms, as of January 1, 2024.

• Earnings earned by individuals who earn income from services such as individual courses, training, data processing and development, and product promotion provided over the internet and similar electronic platforms, as of January 1, 2024.

If your income falls into one of these business lines, you can obtain this certificate through the Digital Tax Office. Then, with this document, you go to a bank (I recommend Ziraat Bank) and open an account. You enter the IBAN information for this special account through the Digital Tax Office.

Once these transactions are complete, a 15% tax is deducted from the money sent to this account, and you are considered to have paid your taxes without the hassle of financial advisor fees, income tax, VAT, stamp duty, etc.

Some companies in Türkiye even accept this system. Of course, not every company accepts this. Therefore, you should discuss these details with the company you'll be collaborating with.

This means that income from YouTube or TikTok, as well as income from teaching online courses, falls under this category. App developers can also benefit from this exemption.

Of course, this system has some disadvantages: You automatically become a Bağkur member (unless you're insured elsewhere or retired). You also have to pay the Bağkur premium regularly every month.
