The deadline for corporate taxpayers to submit their returns for the 2025 accounting period and pay the taxes accrued on these returns will expire on Thursday, April 30.

According to the information compiled by the AA correspondent, the declaration period continues for corporate taxpayer capital companies, cooperatives, economic public institutions, economic enterprises belonging to associations or foundations, and business partnerships.

In this context, declarations for the 2025 accounting period can be submitted to the Revenue Administration (GİB) until the end of Thursday, April 30. Payments for the declarations must also be made by the same date.

On the other hand, corporations with a special accounting period can pay their taxes until the end of the relevant month in which they submit their returns.

Taxpayers can pay their taxes on the Revenue Administration’s “gib.gov.tr” website, through the Digital Tax Office and the Revenue Administration mobile application, through debit-credit cards or accounts of contracted banks, or with cards of banks operating in foreign countries. Payments can also be made through branches of contracted banks, alternative channels such as internet, telephone and mobile banking, and PTT branches.
