RESTRUCTURING OPPORTUNITY FOR CHAMBER DEBTS

Pursuant to Law No. 7256 on the Restructuring of Certain Receivables and Amendments to Certain Laws, which entered into force upon publication in issue No. 31307 of the Official Gazette dated Tuesday, 17 November 2020, a restructuring opportunity has been introduced for our Members' 2020 1st Instalment amounts and their unpaid Annual Dues and Additional Dues principal debts for 2019 - 2018 - 2017 - 2016 and earlier years.

Late payment surcharges accrued on the amounts corresponding to the specified period will not be collected.

Our members wishing to benefit from the said restructuring must, by 31 January 2021 at the latest, submit their restructuring applications and make their first instalment payments by coming to our Chamber in person with the petition available at our Chamber's https://www.elazigtso.org.tr/public/fileupload/Aidat%20Yap%C4%B1land%C4%B1rmaEK.pdf address and/or online via the Membership System.

Our Members applying for restructuring for debts within the scope of the Law must pay the first of their debt instalments by the end of the third month following the date of publication of the Law (First Instalment Date: 28 February 2021), and the remainder in monthly periods in a maximum total of six equal instalments (Last Instalment Date : 31 July 2021).

Restructuring can be made in up to a maximum of six instalments. The number of instalments to be determined by the member will not change the total amount of debt to be paid.

Members will also be able to pay the total principal debt amount in instalments by credit card, provided that the instalment periods specified above are not exceeded.

The application can be made physically at our Chamber with the petition whose printed sample is available, or via https://ebelge.tobb.org.tr or through the e-Government gateway https://www.turkiye.gov.tr using the link The Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye - Identity Verification Services - TOBB Chamber/Exchange Member Information System.

In addition, the unpaid dues debts, up to the date their tax liability ended, of members whose tax liability has ended but whose Chamber registrations continue will also be considered within the scope of the restructuring. If Members in this situation apply to the Chamber within the granted period with a letter obtained from the relevant institution showing that their tax liability has ended, the collection of the principal of dues debts accrued after the date their tax liability ended, together with all of their ancillary debts, will be waived.

We emphatically announce that this opportunity should be taken advantage of by 31 December.
