This thesis analyzes the tax incentives and protection measures in the European Union and Turkey. The definition and classification of these measures in the form of tax expenditures will be stated in this study.

The legal background and major policy implications of these tax policy measures in the framework of Turkey’s tax laws will be explained followed by an evaluation of to what extent Turkey’s tax expenditures are harmonized to the EU.

Our estimates suggest that ...
