6645 SAYILI TORBA KANUN İLE GELEN ÖNEMLİ DEĞİŞİKLİKLER
23.04.2015 tarihinde resmi gazetede yayımlanan “6645 sayılı İş Sağlığı Ve Güvenliği Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılmasına Dair Kanun” ile bir çok önemli değişiklik yapılmış olup önemli olduğunu düşündüğümüz söz konusu değişiklikler aşağıda maddeler halinde belirtilmiştir;
1-Asgari Geçim İndirimi hesaplamasına konu oranlar yeniden belirlenmiş, 01.05.2015 itibariyle %5 olan 3. çocuk indirim oranı %10’a yükseltilmiştir.
2-Çok tehlikeli sınıfta yer alıp 10’dan fazla çalışanı bulunan ve 3 yıl içinde ölümlü veya sürekli iş göremezlikle sonuçlanan iş kazası meydana gelmemiş işyerlerinde çalışanların işsizlik sigortası işveren payı, teşvik olarak bir sonraki takvim yılından geçerli olmak üzere ve 3 yıl süreyle %2 yerine %1 olarak alınacaktır. Ölümlü veya sürekli iş göremezlikle sonuçlanan iş kazası meydana gelmesi hâlinde ise takip eden aydan itibaren bu teşvik uygulamasına son verilecektir. İşverenler, bu fıkrada öngörülen şartları tekrar sağlamaları ve talep etmeleri hâlinde bu teşvikten yeniden yararlanabilecektir.
3-6111 sayılı kanun ile 4447 sayılı kanunun 10. maddesi ile sağlanan sigorta primi desteğinden Nisan 2015 ve öncesine ilişkin olmak üzere, ortalama sigortalı sayısının yanlış hesaplanması sebebiyle yersiz yararlandığı tespit edilen işverenlerin, yersiz yararlanılan teşvik tutarlarına ilişkin gecikme cezası ve zammı hesaplanmayacaktır.
4-Mazeret izni ücretli hale getirilmiş ve gün sayıları, işçinin evlenmesi veya evlat edinmesi ya da anne veya babasının, eşinin, kardeşinin, çocuğunun ölümü hâlinde 3 gün, eşinin doğum yapması hâlinde ise 5 gün olarak belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, işçilerin en az %70 oranında engelli veya süreğen hastalığı olan çocuğunun tedavisinde, hastalık raporuna dayalı olarak
ve çalışan ebeveynden sadece biri tarafından kullanılması kaydıyla, bir yıl içinde toptan veya bölümler hâlinde 10 güne kadar ücretli izin verilecektir.
5-Turizm, özel güvenlik ve sağlık hizmeti yürütülen işlerde işçinin yazılı onayının alınması şartıyla 7,5 saatin üzerinde gece çalışması yaptırılabilecektir.
6-Emekli olup aynı zamanda Limited Şirket ortağı ve Anonim Şirket yönetim kurulu üyesi olan ortağının emekli maaşından kesilen %15 Sosyal Güvenlik Destekleme primi 2015 yılı Temmuz ve takip eden ödeme dönemlerine ilişkin olmak üzere %10 olarak uygulanacaktır.
7-İşverenler tarafından beyan edilecek Bağkur matrahının tespitinde “sigortalı aynı zamanda işveren ise aylık prime esas kazancı, çalıştırdığı sigortalıların prime esas günlük kazancının en yükseğinin 30 katından az olamaz.” şartı kaldırılmıştır. Bu nedenle, 01.10.2008 tarihinden itibaren Bağkur primi işverenlerce asgari-azami aylık ücret çerçevesinde istenilen tutarda beyan edilebilecektir.
8-18 yaşından büyük, 29 yaşından küçük olanlardan Türkiye İş Kurumu tarafından 31/12/2016 tarihine kadar başlatılan işbaşı eğitim programlarını tamamlayanların, programın bitimini müteakip en geç 3 ay içinde programı tamamladıkları meslek alanında özel sektör işverenleri tarafından işe alınması ve işe alındıkları yıldan bir önceki takvim yılında işyerinden bildirilen aylık prim ve hizmet belgelerindeki sigortalı sayısının ortalamasına ilave olması kaydıyla, işe alındıkları işyerinin imalat sanayi sektöründe faaliyet göstermesi hâlinde 42 ay, diğer sektörlerde ise 30 ay süre ile %5’lik standart indirim uygulandıktan sonra kalan sigorta primlerinin işveren hisselerine ait oranına göre ve aynı Kanunun 82. maddesi uyarınca belirlenen prime esas kazanç alt sınırı üzerinden hesaplanan tutar fondan karşılanacaktır. 30/06/2015 tarihine kadar başlayan işbaşı eğitim programlarının katılımcıları için bu fıkradaki süreler 6 ay artırımlı uygulanacaktır.

Stamp Tax Rates 2015

Stamp taxes are applicable over a broad range of documents signed in Turkey or benefited in Turkey (if signed out of Turkey). The stamp tax rates applicable on the documents listed in the Stamp Tax Law have now been revised as of 1 January 2015.
The general stamp tax rate is remained as 0.948%. Furthermore, the stamp tax ceiling applicable for each original document has been increased to TL 1.702.138,00, effective from 1 January 2015. The below summary represents the new stamp tax rates applicable for contracts and tax returns concluded after 1 January 2015.

Stamp tax can be a major cost to the business for those companies who use contractual documents during their ordinary course of business or during a business reorganisation where the existing contracts have to be renewed/transferred. Although it has been a disputed area in Turkey with the argument that the stamp tax cost should be decreased to encourage the companies to have written contracts and avoid unrecorded economy; the contrary tax law changes in this area indicates that the Government still sees stamp tax as a source to increase the tax revenue.
