You can make your payment in GBP, USD, EURO, New Turkish Lira (YTL)-the local currency- or the other convertible currencies sold or purchased by the Central Bank of Turkey. If you want to carry out your transactions in YTL, then you are advised to convert your currency into YTL at Banks, Participation Banks or authorised change bureaus in Turkey (You can find daily indicative exchange rates at www.tcmb.gov.tr)
Some foreign nationals prefer setting all price terms in the purchase&sale contracts in New Turkish Lira so as not to encounter any tax evasion complications due to a possible conversion error.
