Mustafa Erkan Üyümez, Sema Ünlüer, Ali Osman Yılmaz

Tax audits are carried out within the structure of Tax Audit Board since 2011 as a result of the merging of the former audit units under a single umbrella. Tax audits can directly or indirectly be affected by various factors. It is necessary to identify problems related to the corporate structure in tax audits and to develop the recommendations for solution. Therefore, the main purpose of the research is to identify the issues related to the institutional structure of the tax audits system in Turkey and to propose recommentations to eliminate these problems. In order to obtain in-depth information in this context, the research was carried out by qualitative research method. Qualitative research was designed as a case study.
