Final days for the National Fuel Tracking System (UTTS)! Heavy fines await those who fail to install

UTTS ensures that vehicle license plate information is automatically transmitted to the Payment Recording Device (ÖKC) during fuel purchases.

The TTB (Vehicle Identification Unit) installed in vehicles is read by the Vehicle Identification Reader (TTO), transferring the license plate information to the ÖKC without the need for manual entry. The ÖKC receipt issued after refueling includes information indicating that it is within the scope of UTTS. Fuel stations are required to install at least 1 Nozzle Communication Module (TİM) and 2 TTOs on at least one pump island.

28,000 TL FINE FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT INSTALL

According to a report in Sözcü, automotive writer Emre Özpeynirci stated, “Taxpayers who do not have the TTB installed by June 30 will not be able to declare their fuel expenses and will face heavy fines of up to 28,000 TL.”

JUNE 30 IS THE CRITICAL DATE: TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Special irregularity fines ranging from 7,000 TL to 140,000 TL may be applied to those who do not comply with the UTTS Communique. Starting July 1, documents not issued within the scope of UTTS will be considered as never issued under the Tax Procedure Law, and fuel expenses will not be deductible as business expenses.

Vehicle owners who have completed the TTB registration and application process via the UTTS website must finish the installation process by June 30, regardless of whether their fuel expenses are to be declared as business expenses. Authorities are urging taxpayers to take action before the deadline to avoid punitive sanctions and grievances.
