Ken Grubb posted a article in Government & Law
If you're planning to live or work in Turkey with a residence permit or work permit, you'll need to get a vergi numarası (tax number) from the tax office. Later, you'll likely have to pay various fees and taxes to the Turkish government, which you can do at the tax office or by using Turkey's government services portal, e-Devlet (e-Government) at www.turkiye.gov.tr. What is the Tax Office in Turkey? The Gelir İdaresi Başkanlığı (Directorate of Revenue Management) is the branch of the Turkish government which collects taxes, carries out the activities of the tax system, performs tax au -
Deposit Stamp Tax: What it is and How to Pay it in Turkey
Ken Grubb posted a article in Residence Permits
If you're a renter, one of the documents you'll need for your residence permit application is a notarized copy of your rental agreement. When you go to the noter (notary) to have this done, they may insist that you first pay the damga vergisi (stamp duty) at the tax office. What is the Deposit Stamp Tax? The stamp duty is a tax on the deposit paid by a tenant to a landlord. It must be paid, by the tenant, after the first year and every year after that. In Turkey, notaries are lawyers appointed to their positions. They're are obligated to make sure the law is followed whenever th -
So I just bought a new car from an authorized dealership. I knew there are tax free plates for foreigners that have lettering MA-MZ but they have selling and other restrictions. So I went ahead and paid full taxes. I was surprised that my plate came out MD. Is there a mistake here? Did I get a blue plate although I paid full taxes? Please confirm. Thanks. -
I am a French citizen spending about 8 months a year in Turkey (although not in a row) and my question is whether an ikamet "for touristic purposes" qualifies me as resident or non-resident for tax purposes in Turkey (unlimited liable taxpayer vs limited liable taxpayer). I checked the Turkish Personal Income Tax Law (PITL) but it is rather ambiguous: while, on the one hand, it states that "Residents are individuals with legal permanent residence in Turkey and those who reside in Turkey for more than six months during one calendar year", it later says that "those who have arrived for the

Hey all, I've read in previous posts but the posts too old. I want to import a car (2016 BMW 320d) that's a 2 liter turbocharged engine, to Turkey of course. I was wondering how much the costs of the import taxes, customs and all? EDIT: According to the following website (https://www.export.gov/article?id=Turkey-ImportTariffs) "Other products impacted by the SCT include petroleum products, motor vehicles, aircraft, vessels and durable consumer goods. VAT is imposed at the general rate of 18%, but reduced rates (8% and 1%) are applied on some goods and services, and certain types of tran -

Hi all, I'm sorry if this topic has been beaten to death, but I recently realized that I was very mistaken about filing taxes. I was under the impression that if you made less than a certain amount abroad, you weren't obligated to file taxes and would not meet any problems with the IRS. The truth is that the best thing to do is file a tax return every year to keep records, even if you owe no tax. In this way the IRS can only ever investigate up to 3 years back. So, if one day you have to pay fines or penalties, you've prevented a very serious situation by at least having filed a tax report

This is relatively straightforward. You pay tax here on the 1st Jan and the 1st July, depending on the size of your car, the bill gets higher every year and this year it flew up. If you have bought a car, especially if it is second hand, make sure there is no outstanding tax debt on the car BEFORE YOU HAND OVER A PENNY. You will have been to the tax office to get your tax number before, so go back to the same place and as soon as you go through the door, straight ahead with a sign over it is M.V.T. Give the guys your ownership book, and ask them to check the vehicle tax is ok. D
