Sources: 2. Developments: 2. Turkey has introduced new measures concerning vehicle regulations and taxation. In mid-August, the Ministry of Trade implemented updated regulations for the temporary import of land vehicles. These rules clarify requirements for retirement certificates, which must be issued under the social security legislation of the relevant country and accompanied by an approved Turkish translation. Under these rules, certain retirees may be granted a 730-day period for their vehicles, with usage permitted for specific relatives or other individuals residing outside Turkey if the permit holder is present. By late August, legislative discussions shifted toward domestic fleet renewal. A proposal in the Grand National Assembly suggests offering Special Consumption Tax (ÖTV) reductions and scrap vehicle incentives for citizens who replace vehicles aged 25 years or older. To qualify, new vehicles would need a local content rate of at least 40%, such as Togg models. The initiative aims to improve road safety and reduce emissions, though the regulation has not yet been passed into law. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-27: Turkey considers scrap vehicle incentives and ÖTV tax reductions A legislative proposal in Turkey seeks to offer ÖTV tax exemptions for citizens scrapping vehicles over 25 years old to encourage the purchase of new, domestically produced cars. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turkey-considers-scrap-vehicle-incentives-and-tv-tax-reductions ### 2026-08-14: Turkey updates regulations for temporary vehicle imports Turkey's Ministry of Trade has updated regulations for temporarily imported land vehicles, redefining retirement certificate requirements and clarifying authorized drivers. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/turkey-updates-regulations-for-temporary-vehicle-imports --- Cite as: Turkish vehicle import and taxation regulations.
