It has been learned that Haldız İnşaat Otomotiv ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, owned by Macit Haldız—referred to as “the name enriched by Kocaeli Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Tahir Büyükakın”—did not declare income and therefore paid no taxes during the 2021-2023 period.

According to a report by Mustafa Bildircin from BirGün, the total value of the six public tenders received between 2021 and 2023 by the Haldız İnşaat company, owned by Macit Haldız—whose son is a member of the AKP Kocaeli Provincial Board of Directors and who is described as an “AKP-linked contractor”—amounted to 1 billion 977 million 546 thousand TL.

The tax record of the company, which received 1.9 billion TL in public tenders between 2021 and 2023, is also noteworthy.

Accordingly, the company, known for its massive public tenders, did not pay a single kuruş in taxes during the 2021-2023 period.
