AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This regulation sets the rules for accreditation usage fees payable by Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK) accredited organizations for the year 2026. Domestic accredited entities must calculate their gross revenue derived from accredited activities (including taxes paid to the state). Organizations with gross revenue of 1,500,000 TL or less from accredited activities pay nothing. Those exceeding 1,500,000 TL must pay 0.1% of their total gross revenue as the accreditation usage fee/share. Declarations and supporting financial documents certified by sworn financial advisors or certified public accountants must be submitted via the TÜRKAK portal by the end of March 2027. Foreign-operating accredited organizations are completely exempt from reporting and payment. Failure to report or pay triggers both legal collection proceedings and suspension of accreditation.
