Çağlayan had more good news to share at the news conference for business people planning to make new investments. Money spent, as part of an investment on existing buildings will be included in the incentive document so that the investor will not only be able to deduct new spending on a plant from tax, but also the cost of an existing building in a production facility. “This new practice will allow old buildings that are sitting idle to be reintegrated into the economy,” Çağlayan stated.
To promote the new incentive package, which is valid for all investments made in Turkey since January 1, Turkey is set to start a promotion campaign. “We are going to start a promotion campaign in both national and international media in September,” the minister announced. The campaign will utilize media sources that target the business community and will also get financial support from institutions such as the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey (TOBB) and the Turkish Exporters' Assembly (TİM). Promotional videos in more than ten languages are being prepared for the campaign.
