Tax Advantages Obtained Within the Scope of the Investment Incentive System

Profits generated from the Group’s investments that are covered by an investment incentive certificate are subject to corporate income tax at reduced rates, starting from the financial year in which the investment is partially or fully put into operation, until the investment contribution amount is utilized in full. As a result of the recognition of such tax benefit as of 31 December 2025, deferred tax income of TRY 2,346,908 has been recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the period from 1 January to 31 December 2025.
