Application for an investment incentive certificate is not just about uploading the list of machines to be purchased into the system. New production line, capacity increase, modernization or new facility investment; The product to be produced should be explained together with current and target capacity, investment location, machine list, budget, financing and implementation schedule. When this information does not match each other, the application file cannot explain the real need for the investment.
Incentive certificate does not guarantee the same support for every investment
The subject of the investment, its location, size, technology level and the incentive application involved change the evaluation result and the supports that can be used. Applying for documents; It does not mean that support will be received, a certain rate will be applied or that all expenses will be covered.
What is an Investment Incentive Certificate?
Investment incentive certificate is the document that forms the basis for an eligible investment project to benefit from certain support elements within the framework of the relevant legislation and the approved scope. Incentive system within the scope of Decision No. 9903 dated 29 May 2025; Türkiye Century Development Move consists of Sectoral Incentive System and regional incentives.
Türkiye Century Development Move
It includes investments within the scope of technology, local development and strategic move programs.
Sectoral Incentive System
It covers the evaluation of priority and target investments within the framework of relevant conditions.
Regional Incentives
It completes the support elements depending on the region where the investment will be made.
Elements such as VAT exemption, customs duty exemption, tax deduction, interest or dividend support, investment location allocation, machinery support and employer share of insurance premium support may be available for eligible investments. However, not all of these are included together in every document; The exact scope should be checked from the approved incentive document.
7 Information Groups to Prepare Before Application
Purpose and type of investment
Clearly define the need for new facilities, expansion, modernization, product diversification or integration. The statement "a new machine will be purchased" alone does not explain the effect of the investment on production.
Current and target production capacity
Show the existing capacity, bottleneck, post‑investment target and which products will see growth in the same unit of measure
List of domestic and imported machinery
Determine the name of the machine, its technical specifications, quantity, unit price, origin and role in the production process. Avoid registering the same equipment under different names.
Investment budget
Plan land, building‑construction, domestic and imported machinery, software, licenses, assembly and other investment expenses in separate groups.
Financing plan
Equity, investment loans and other financing sources; Evaluate it together with the payment schedule and cash need.
Investment location and permits
Check the province, district, OIZ status, title deed or allocation information, EIA requirement and investment-specific permits before applying.
Application and employment calendar
Order, delivery, installation, trial production and transition to full capacity dates; plan with current and projected employment. Non-consecutive dates weaken the applicability of the file.
The offer, application list and invoice must describe the same investment
Verify coverage before purchasing
Before ordering machinery, advance payment, invoice or import, check how the relevant expenditure will be included in the incentive certificate and approved machinery list. Just because an application has been made does not include every purchase within the scope of support. E-TUYS record, current legislation and expert opinion should be evaluated together for transaction dates and document scope.

Pre-Application Checklist
ERP does not make the application; ensures investment data remains consistent
When machine cards, fixed assets, capacity, bill of materials, production quantity, purchase offers, budget and payment records are kept in different files, it becomes difficult to monitor the actual cost of the investment. The common data layout makes it easier to compare the plan used during application with the records created during application.
To determine investment needs by process needs analysis approach to evaluate capacity and production data analysis and reporting page for production planning KG Palaimon production ERP program and review it.
If new system installation or data editing work is also included in the investment calendar, it is necessary to plan the task and data preparation in advance. How this preparation can be carried out In the first 30 days of the ERP project guide you can see.
