Ban on Foreign Currency Payments for Goods Sales (Excluding Vehicles) Lifted
Prior to the amendment, while it was possible to agree on contracts for the sale of movable property (excluding vehicle sales contracts) in foreign currency or indexed to foreign currency, there was a ban on foreign currency payments, except for certain exceptions.
With the amendment made in the Communiqué Regarding Decision No. 32 (Communiqué No: 2008-32/34) published in the Official Gazette dated March 6, 2025, and numbered 32833, the obligation to pay in Turkish Lira in contracts for the sale of movable property (excluding vehicle sales contracts) was removed, and payment in foreign currency was made free in all contracts for the sale of movable property (excluding vehicle sales contracts). On the other hand, it is possible to agree on contracts for the sale of movable property (excluding vehicle sales contracts) in foreign currency or indexed to foreign currency.
It is not possible to agree on contracts for the sale of vehicles in foreign currency or indexed to foreign currency.
