On 22nd April 2026, Borsa İstanbul has been accepted as a Recognised Stock Exchange by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Aiming to make the capital markets more visible and accessible particularly among UK-based investors, Borsa İstanbul, with this step, also contributes to efforts to increase foreign investors interest in the markets.
With Borsa İstanbul being accepted as a Recognised Stock Exchange, it will be possible for investors resident in the United Kingdom to benefit from tax advantages on their investments in the capital markets. Income earned by holders of Individual Savings Accounts (ISA) from their investments in Recognised Stock Exchanges is exempt from taxation in the United Kingdom. In addition, lease certificates traded on Recognised Stock Exchanges are evaluated under the category of Alternative Finance Investment Bonds in the United Kingdom. This simplifies investors’ decision-making and reporting processes and reduces the compliance burden.
