Is the Saudi Embassy stamp still required for Turkey?

For the MISA license application, the Hague Apostille obtained in Turkey is usually sufficient. Some specific commercial documents may still require additional validation later depending on the use case.

What taxes do Turkish companies pay?

Foreign-owned companies generally pay corporate income tax on net profits, and VAT applies on taxable supplies. A tax treaty (DTAA) exists to help avoid double taxation; confirm details with a qualified tax advisor.
