Plan an Alanya sale around documented acquisition facts, realistic sale scenarios and a case-specific tax assessment. A date on its own is not a sufficient basis for budgeting a tax-free sale. Start by establishing what you acquired, how you acquired it and which records support the proposed transaction.
Assemble the acquisition evidence
Create a folder containing available title records, acquisition agreements, payment evidence and documents explaining the acquisition method. Record all potentially relevant dates without deciding yourself which one controls the tax treatment.
Include ownership shares, any later changes in ownership and whether the property has been used personally, rented or involved in business activity. Explain any gifts, inheritance arrangements or other acquisition circumstances to the adviser rather than assigning them an exemption yourself.
Gather improvement invoices and evidence of payment. Separate substantial works, routine maintenance and furniture purchases so the adviser can assess their treatment individually. Missing evidence should appear on an open-items list.
Ask for a written tax assessment
Send the evidence pack and proposed sale circumstances to a qualified tax adviser. Ask:
- How should this disposal be classified given my acquisition method, ownership and activity?
- Which acquisition and disposal dates matter, and what proves them?
- Does indexation apply, and which records and calculation basis would it require?
- Are any allowances or cost adjustments relevant to this case and sale year?
- Which documented expenses can be recognised, and which cannot?
- What reporting, payment or other obligations need confirmation?
Use GIB's disposal-income information and its property disposal guide to structure those questions. Ask the adviser to identify the guidance relevant to your acquisition history and explain how it supports the proposed assessment.
Keep cash proceeds separate from taxable gain
Prepare two calculations. The cash worksheet starts with the amount you expect to receive and subtracts outstanding finance, agreed selling expenses and other settlement payments. Show the estimated tax reserve separately.
The tax worksheet belongs to the adviser and should identify its evidence, assumptions and unresolved items. Do not copy every cash expense into it as a deduction.
Request written quotes for marketing, representation, document work and banking. Ask which amounts are payable even if the sale does not complete. If another jurisdiction may be relevant to your tax position, obtain advice there without assuming treaty relief.
Compare sale scenarios without predicting prices
Choose your own lower, central and higher sale-price assumptions. For each, calculate cash proceeds before the tax reserve, proceeds after the provisional reserve and the amount in your spending currency using an explicit exchange-rate assumption.
If considering a later sale, add continuing ownership costs and any repairs. Ask the adviser to reassess the tax assumptions for that proposed sale rather than assuming waiting removes the liability.
Set a decision threshold
Write down the minimum usable proceeds you need and which unresolved costs could change your decision. Before accepting a payment or binding sale terms, obtain written advice on outstanding tax questions and contractual conditions.
If you intend to reinvest through an Ogenus shortlist, assess Investment Property Search in Alanya against those usable proceeds, keeping the new purchase budget separate from the hoped-for sale price.
