Abstract
During the last quarter of 2021, there were significant fluctuations in exchange rates in Turkey, and the Turkish Lira (“TL”) experienced high depreciation compared to other foreign currencies. In order to reduce the negative effects of the depreciation in TL on the country's economy and to encourage individuals to evaluate their assets in TL, the country administration has put some measures into effect. In this context, with the Law numbered 7352 Amending the Tax Procedure Law and the Corporate Tax Law (“Law numbered 7352”), published in the Official Gazette dated 29 January 2022 and numbered 31734, temporary article 14 was added to the Corporate Tax Law No. 5520. In accordance with the relevant article, certain tax exemptions have been introduced for the gains obtained in case the institutions convert their foreign currency and gold deposits in their balance sheets into Turkish Lira. In this study, the effects of the relevant regulation on the financial statements of companies preparing financial statements in accordance with Turkish Financial Reporting Standards were examined.
