WHAT IS AGI?

Until 01.01.2008, employees collected receipts and invoices, sent them to the institution with which they work with a statement and received a tax refund. To compensate for the loss of income due to the abolition of the tax refund system, wage earners were paid the minimum vital subsidy effective as of January 1, 2008.

The minimum subsistence allowance was the financial support received by the employee for the care of their dependents. It was an allowance that was paid according to the gross amount of the minimum wage according to whether the worker was married or single, his spouse did not work or worked, and the number of children. The government, based on the fact that the minimum wage was increased by 50%, and all wage earners were exempted from income tax and postage stamps corresponding to the minimum wage; abolished the minimum subsistence allowance for all employees. Those who benefited least from the exemption of the amount corresponding to the minimum wage from income tax, but the elimination of the minimum subsistence allowance (only 38 TL of stamp duty exemption) were those who had an unemployed spouse and three children.
