Taxation and Accounting Practices in Foundations

Öz

Foundations, which are regarded as non-governmental organizations, are established on a voluntary basis and provide social benefits. With these characteristics, they contribute to many services undertaken by the state. A significant portion of the revenues of foundations originates from donations or economic transactions. It is legally mandatory that foundation assets be managed by taking economic principles and risks into consideration. This provision imposes substantial material and moral responsibility on foundation officials. These responsibilities can only be fulfilled through the accounting process. Although foundations are exempt from income and corporate taxes, they are required to make tax withholdings on certain earnings and payments. This situation leads to a decrease in the revenues of foundations and indirectly results in their taxation. In terms of the financial sustainability of foundations that contribute to the state, it is necessary to increase their financial resources. For this purpose, restructuring the legislation to include incentive elements may enhance social benefit. In the first section of the study, information about foundations is provided. The second section explains the qualitative and quantitative size of foundations in Türkiye, their position with respect to financial legislation, and their tax obligations. In the final section, information on accounting processes is presented and sample applications are carried out. The study provides guidance to relevant stakeholders regarding the taxation and accounting procedures of foundations and serves as a guide that can be utilized in determining measures that may be taken for the development of foundations.
