Member Transactions Module
No. 5174 Chambers and Commodity Exchanges is the application where all kinds of information (commercial, communication, etc.) about the members are kept, dues transactions and reporting are made within the framework of the obligations imposed by the law on chambers.
Merchants, industrialists and all real and legal persons having the title of maritime merchant and their branches and factories, which are registered and announced by the Trade Registry Office, are obliged to register with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the place where they are located.
In provinces where a chamber of industry is established, industrialists shall fulfill their obligation to register with the chamber of commerce by registering with the chamber of industry. The commercial activities that the owners of industrial enterprises engage in as a requirement of their industrial activities shall not eliminate their status as industrialists; they may also register with the chamber of commerce if they wish.
Real and legal persons registered and announced in the Trade Registry Office must apply to the chamber. The registration process starts on the same day. A copy of the documents sought during the registration of real and legal persons registered by the Trade Registry Office and the registration certificate is given to the merchants by the registry office. With these documents given by the Trade Registry Office, the registration process in the Chamber registry service ends with the filling of the registration declaration, the real and legal persons signing this declaration and depositing the chamber registration fee to the cashier. Chamber registration fee is determined by taking into account the capital of real and legal persons and the nature of the business. During this determination, grades are given to the merchants.
Those who fail to fulfill the registration obligation within one month shall be registered ex officio by the chambers and the situation shall be notified to them. Real and legal persons who are registered ex officio are obliged to pay the registration fees within one month from the notification of their registration. Those who fail to pay this fee shall be subject to the provisions of the Procedure for Collection of Public Receivables No. 6183.
Regardless of the form of registration, member registrations are made according to occupational groups and kept up-to-date in the common database organized electronically within the Ministry and the Union.
The Personnel and Financial Affairs Branch of the Chambers accrues and collects the registration fee, annual dues, additional dues and late fees of the chamber members.
Annual Dues are re-determined every year according to the degrees of the chamber members. Annual dues are accrued according to the degrees.
For each year, additional dues are calculated and collected at the rate of five per thousand over the total commercial earnings shown in the declarations of real person merchants and industrialists regarding income tax and over the commercial balance sheet profit shown in the declarations of legal person merchants and industrialists regarding corporate tax to be paid. In the event that the balance sheet cannot be provided by the member and cannot be obtained from the tax office, the additional dues of the previous year, which shall not be less than three times the annual dues ceiling, shall be temporarily accrued in kind.
