In Turkey, social security deductions made by employees are deductible from their gross income for the purpose of calculating taxable income. This means that the amounts contributed towards social security by employees can be subtracted from their gross earnings before income tax is computed. This deduction helps lower the taxable base of employees, potentially reducing their overall income tax liability. It's a common practice in many countries to allow such deductions as a way to encourage participation in social security schemes and ensure that individuals are not taxed on the portion of their income set aside for essential social security contributions.
