Turkey updates ÖTV vehicle tax, adds drivetrain rule, sets minimum fees

ÖTV drivetrain tax minimum tax Turkey vehicle tax reform

The Turkish Grand National Assembly approved an omnibus amendment to the Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV) law covering passenger cars and electric motorcycles. The reform makes a vehicle's drive system – such as 4×4 versus 4×2 – a factor in determining ÖTV rates. It also establishes minimum fixed ÖTV amounts of 100,000 Turkish lira for passenger cars and 30,000 lira for electric motorcycles, while motorcycles with electric motor power below 4 kW are exempt. The President was granted authority to raise or lower these minimum amounts up to tenfold or to zero and to adjust tax brackets based on engine size, emissions, battery capacity and other technical characteristics. The minimum amounts will be indexed each year according to the re‑valuation rates set out in the Tax Procedure Law. Additional provisions in the amendment address candidate‑driver status and tax exemptions for nuclear‑energy investment contracts. The changes affect all vehicle owners and prospective buyers in Turkey.
