Regarding Discounted Sale Advertisements

Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the official letter forwarded to our Union by the General Directorate of Consumer Protection and Market Surveillance of the Ministry of Trade states that, in the examinations and inspections carried out in connection with consumer complaints, discounted sale advertisements were found not to be carried out in compliance with the legislation and that this situation causes consumer grievances.
In this context, it has been notified that advertisements and promotions must be brought into full compliance with the legislation in line with the Regulation Amending the Regulation on Commercial Advertising and Unfair Commercial Practices
, which entered into force on 1 August 2026; and that the administrative sanctions set out in the twelfth paragraph of Article 77 of Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection will be applied to advertisements and promotions containing matters contrary to the legislation.
The official letter forwarded by the Ministry of Trade is presented in the annex.
