The aim of this study is to determine the differences in defining family relations in various tax laws and objectives of their difference, to evaluate these differences in terms of equality and justice and to make proposals. the subject is examined for the first time in the literature. since neither the article nor the judicial decision were made in this regard, the articles referring to the concept of family were considered to be based on the basic principles of law, in terms of basic legal concepts, social state and tax security.
