With Circular No. 2025/8 issued by the Social Security Institution on March 11, 2025, an amendment has been made to Circular No. 2013/11 on Insurance Transactions, dated February 22, 2013. As part of this amendment, the following paragraph has been added to the regulations concerning the issuance and cancellation of termination declarations:
"In cases where termination was initially reported without entitlement to severance or notice compensation, but a mediation settlement agreement or court decision subsequently grants such compensation to the employee, the reason for termination shall be updated accordingly. Upon the employee’s or employer’s application to the Institution with a court decision or a mediation settlement agreement bearing the status of an enforceable judgment, the termination reason shall be changed in accordance with the respective court ruling or mediation decision."

In order to declare the rent income, the lump sum expense method and actual expense method are implemented. Taxpayers who choose the lump-sum expense method can deduct the lump-sum expense of 15% of the amount remaining after deducting the exemption amount from the rental income in return for actual expenses. Those who lease the rights cannot apply the lump sum expense method. In the below table, the related details are provided for rental income from residential and commercial properties.
