It all goes against what you paid into SSK.

Does any know how to present your accounts. Is there a special form to use, if so where do you get it from. Do you have to present receipts. Do you do it in sterling or YTL- In short is it easy or hard to do? Are the tax authorities helpful in explaining what needs doing?
I hope some one can help with this query?

wel its a bit late now. Today was the latest to hand in all your receipts. You get the forms and envelopes from stationaries and then give it to your accountant. As this is done in Turkey the currency would be YTL naturally.
You gather all receipts you kept from the last year regarding food, clothes and rent payments etc. Then you get back whatever its is according to the payments you have made to SSK.

Sorry if I appear a bit dim, but what is SSK? and, like the post from Number 2 above, we will be living off my work pension when we move over where the tax etc is paid in the UK.  Why will I have to fill in a tax return when I will not be working/earning in Turkey?

SSK is the Turkish version of national insurance payments. If your not working here then it doesnt apply to you.
