Duration: 4 Hours

Participants: Authorized personnel working in departments such as Finance, Accounting, and Procurement, as well as other employees who have decision-making authority and responsibility.

Scope of the Training: Due to the nature of commercial activities, companies periodically prepare documents such as contracts, undertakings, etc., and these documents are signed by authorized representatives of the company. Each signed document may be subject to stamp duty at a fixed rate regardless of whether it contains a specified monetary amount or is proportional to a certain amount. In order to legally secure themselves, companies must consider whether a document may be subject to stamp duty when preparing such documents and are often required to make a choice between legal security and tax cost or profit margin in their cost calculations.

In practice, it is observed that stamp duty is not taken into account in cost calculations due to the lack of sufficient knowledge of stamp duty by those who prepare and sign contracts and similar documents. In order to avoid unexpected costs after documents are signed, it is important to have knowledge about documents subject to stamp duty and how the stamp duty related to these documents is calculated.

Purpose of the Training: To inform individuals involved in contract signing processes and those who will work on stamp duty for the first time, as well as consultants providing audit and advisory services in this field, about specific issues related to stamp duty, practical problems encountered in practice, and solution methods.
