The latest situation in e-commerce government incentives: Changes and current informations

The Law No. 2573 on Supporting Digital Activities in Market Entry, which supports the e-commerce sector and is very important for initiatives, was an incentive programme introduced to the e-commerce sector in recent years. However, we have researched a few important points about recent developments and changing conditions.

Within the scope of the Law No. 2573 on Supporting Digital Activities in Market Entry, the incentive provided to support membership expenses for e-commerce sites approved by the Ministry of Trade, including activities such as B2B, offered support up to 15,102 TL per e-commerce site per year as of 2022. However, it is known that this incentive programme was terminated in 2023. In other words, as of this date, the possibility for e-commerce operators to benefit from this incentive has disappeared.

In the rapidly developing and changing world of e-commerce, the end of this incentive has brought many question marks in the sector. However, it remains unclear whether the Ministry of Trade will reintroduce this incentive programme in the future. It is very important for e-commerce operators to follow the regulations to be made in the future.

In summary, these changes in government incentives in e-commerce require entrepreneurs operating in the sector to review their strategies and adapt quickly to possible changes. It is important to follow the developments closely and react instantly to legislative changes. At this point, it will be useful for e-commerce operators to keep their finger on the pulse of the sector and follow the statements made regarding future incentive policies.
