A government plan granting 5 percent cut in taxes for corporate taxpayers who pay on a regular basis and on time will start to be applied by Jan. 1, 2018.
According to a notice, issued on the Official Gazette on Dec. 23, all corporate taxpayers will pay 5 percent lower than the calculated taxes if they meet a number of requirements.
