The era of rental disclosure has begun! Forms will now be filled out

The Revenue Administration will now visit addresses one by one to collect information from tenants regarding the amount of rent they pay and how many years they have been tenants through an inspection method. If the tenant is not at home, a letter will be left at the address, requesting that the tenants come to the specified address within certain days and hours. Tenants who cannot fulfill this request will be able to provide information about the house they rent via the internet.

THE REVENUE ADMINISTRATION HAS PLACED LANDLORDS UNDER CLOSE SURVEILLANCE

As a result of the strict measures taken by the Revenue Administration, landlords will no longer be able to evade taxes by declaring lower rent than they receive. The GİB has chosen to obtain information about the property and the amount of rent received directly from the tenants.

The Revenue Administration has determined that there is a high amount of tax loss because landlords declare rents as quite low and pay taxes based on those amounts.

THREE-STAGE SYSTEM FOR TAX EVASION

The GİB has implemented a three-stage system to prevent tax loss.

• Tax office officials will go to addresses where they have identified inconsistencies in rental information through an inspection method and will collect information about the rent paid and the property from the tenants face-to-face.
• If tax office officials cannot find the tenant at the address, they will leave a letter requesting that they come to the tax office on the requested day and time to provide the information.
• Tenants who cannot go to the tax office will disclose their rental information by filling out a form over the internet.
• The GİB will compare the tenant information it reaches with the landlord's declaration to identify tax evasion.

HOW TO FILL OUT THE RENTAL NOTIFICATION FORM?

The GİB has also explained how tenants should fill out the rental notification form to reach rental information as soon as possible. If you cannot go to the tax office to provide your information, you can also fill out this rental notification form over the internet.

Our tenant citizens will also be able to make their notifications regarding their rent payments by entering the Digital Tax Office Application and filling out the Rental Notification Form without going to the tax office. To fill out the rental notification form, you can go to the Digital Tax Office (https://dijital.gib.gov.tr) address and access the form with your ID number and e-Government password. When you enter the Digital Tax Office homepage, you can see the Rental Notification Form heading at the bottom of the left menu.
