Ciudadano got drunk from SCT, not alcohol

The law, which governs so that the rates of the Special Consumption Tax (SCT) on alcoholic beverages and cigarettes are automatically increased at the rate of the producer price index (IPP) every 6 months, generated a new rain of increases.

THE INCREASE IN PPI WILL ARRIVE

In addition to the increases related to the costs of alcohol and cigarettes from a few days ago, there will now be a PPI increase of 14.82 percent. Tax Specialist Dra. Ozan Bingöl made a remarkable assessment regarding the SCT from her social media account:

*Because the President has not exercised any power to the contrary, the SCT for alcohol and tobacco products will automatically increase by 14.82% in the first six months of the PPI increase, “it will be updated!”

*SCT, which was 736.77₺ per liter of alcohol, increased by 14.82% and became 845.96₺. This situation has nothing to do with protecting public health. Overtaxing will continue to kill not only taxes, but also our people!

“THE 12-YEAR INCREASE RATE IS 1543%”

*SCT, which was 51 lira 48 kurus per liter of alcohol in 2010, has become 845 lira 96 ​​kurus today! The 12-year rate of increase is 1543%. While 5 lira out of every 100 SCT lira collected in 2006 was collected from alcoholic products, this figure reached approximately 11 lira in 2022.

*With today’s SCT rise, a 70 percent raki with an alcohol content of 45%;
-Tax-free price: 156.42₺
-SCT 266.47₺
-VAT 76.11₺
-Total tax 342.58₺
-The estimated sale price will be 499₺.
In other words, paying 343 liras in taxes for a product worth 156 liras, we will have bought it for 499 liras.

* If you are asking why such a tax increase, why such a tax increase is being made. In the budget;
– Protected Currency Deposit,
-Guaranteed bridges, roads and hospitals,
– Duty damages,
– Rental of office vehicles,
– Interest payments,
-When you look at the WASTE, the reason for these increases is very clear…
