Are tax debts being erased? Minister Şimşek responds to the claims.

The Revenue Administration (GİB) made a statement regarding a news article titled "They robbed the state and got rich" published in a media outlet, emphasizing that the news does not reflect the truth. In the statement, it was noted that the claims regarding the cancellation of tax debts and the resulting harm to the public are unfounded. It was emphasized that, under Turkish tax law, there is no legal regulation that allows or permits the unconditional cancellation of tax debts, except for certain special circumstances such as natural disasters and regulations regarding the abandonment of the collection of some small receivables.
