Attention vehicle owners: 'A tax applied in the 90s is being brought back'

Şeref Oğuz stated that the government's secret tax study to be brought to the agenda after the local elections will bring serious hikes from VAT to MTV starting from April 1. Oğuz expressed that there are preparations to bring back taxes that were applied in the 1990s.

Oğuz said, "Heavy taxes will be imposed on vehicles exceeding 1600 cc, and we can say that a tax remembered from the 90s is back on the agenda. This tax is the advance tax, which is called the tax on money you have not earned."

"WE MUST BE PREPARED FOR TAX INCREASES"

Speaking to Sözcü TV, Oğuz added: "We must be prepared for tax increases. We know that hikes will come after April 1. First of all, there were two increases in the Motor Vehicle Tax last year, but these increases may not be limited to just twice; they could be increased three or four times a year.

Another plan being worked on is increasing the VAT to 24%. In addition, an additional tax will be introduced for those who own more than one house. This tax could be quite high, and if homeowners cannot pay the tax, they may be forced to have their homes foreclosed.

"HEAVY TAXES WILL COME TO VEHICLES EXCEEDING 1600 CC"

Heavy taxes will come to vehicles exceeding 1600 cc, and another tax remembered from the 90s is coming. This tax is known as the tax on money not earned and is called advance tax. The state takes your money because it needs it, and this increases inflation. Therefore, if the state takes from you, a large part of the economy is pushed into the informal sector," he said.
