Head of the Turkish Industry and Business Association (TÜSİAD) Ümit Boyner has taken to Twitter to respond to recent criticism from Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regarding TÜSIAD's tax reductions, daily Hürriyet has reported.

Boyner denied the accusations on Twitter, saying all TÜSIAD members paid their fair share as far as taxes were concerned.

The large firms under the TÜSIAD umbrella all pay the correct taxes, without any further advantages or reductions, Boyner said.
