We analyse analytic properties of nonlocal transition semigroups associated with a class of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in $\mathbb{R}^d$ driven by pure jump--type Lévy processes. First, we will show under which conditions the semigroup will be analytic on the Besov space $B_{p,q}^ m(\mathbb{R}^d)$ with $1\le p, q<\infty$ and $m\in\mathbb{R}$. Secondly, we present some applications by proving the strong Feller property and give weak error estimates for approximating schemes of the SDEs over the Besov space $B_{\infty,\infty}^ m(\mathbb{R}^d)$.
