In a recent broadcast on Bloomberg HT-Habertürk, **Mehmet Şimşek**, the Minister of Treasury and Finance, addressed a range of topics from economic developments to prospective tax policies. A significant portion of the discussion was dedicated to the subject of cryptocurrency taxation.
As reported by Habertürk, Minister Şimşek emphasized the importance of adhering to two fundamental taxation principles: ensuring tax justice and efficiency in implementation. He clarified the government’s stance on taxation, stating, “Our goal is to broaden the tax base by targeting previously untaxed sectors, rather than introducing new tax burdens. The current commotion surrounding this issue is unfounded.”
Looking ahead, Minister Şimşek hinted at the possibility of taxing capital gains from the stock market in forthcoming legislative packages. He also confirmed that crypto assets are slated to be included in the tax framework. “While it may not be in the immediate package, the subsequent one will definitely encompass cryptocurrencies within the tax net. Our aim is to leave no stone unturned in our tax policy.”
