Tax Law

Tax law is a branch of law that regulates the process of determining, collecting and auditing taxes collected by the state from individuals and legal entities in order to finance public services. Tax law is a field that determines tax liabilities, regulates the procedures required for tax declarations and payments, and resolves tax disputes through tax audits and inspections. Tax law aims to protect the rights of citizens and establish a fair tax system while pursuing the state’s aim to ensure economic order.

The most important purpose of tax law is to ensure that tax payments are made correctly and fairly. Therefore, tax laws determine the responsibilities of taxpayers, while also introducing various legal regulations for tax audits, tax penalties and tax dispute resolution. The elements to be considered in tax law include the obligation to file a tax return, the tax office’s audit authority, tax penalties, tax objections and tax lawsuits.

1. Tax Liabilities and Tax Returns: – Every taxpayer is required to file a tax return if they earn income. It is the legal responsibility of taxpayers to file accurate and timely tax returns.

3. Tax Objections and Litigation Processes: – Taxpayers may object to decisions made by the tax office. Objections are an important process for taxpayers to protect their rights. Tax objections can be heard in tax courts.
