Among the back-to-back tax increases this week, one of the most reactionary was the motor vehicle surtax (MTV).

According to the proposal presented to the Assembly, citizens with intermediaries will pay double for MTV this year.

However, there was a different picture before the elections.

Although the revaluation rate to be applied to taxes, fees and fines in 2023 was 123 percent, President Tayyip Erdogan used his authority to reduce this rate, and the rate of increase for MTV was reduced to 61.5 percent.

Thus, for example, the MTV of a car from 1 to 3 years old with less than 1,300 cylinder capacity was 1,313 lire in 2022.

In 2023, this figure increased to 2,120 lire. If the president had not reduced the revaluation rate, this figure would have been TL 2,928.

With MTV’s extra pay offer for 2023, which arrived this week, this figure increased to 4,240 TL for the year total.

Thus, the rate of increase for 2023 amounted to 223 percent.

BACK 4 YEARS OF DISCOUNTS

The extra pay offer on MTV has also swept away all discounts applied by the President’s authority on MTV since 2019.

Drawing attention to the issue in his social media exchange, Prof. Dr. Cem Başlevent stated that since 2019, with the use of the president’s discount power, citizens who normally should pay a total of 1168 MTV units they paid for 850 units, but when the 286 units paid for this year were doubled, the total payment increased to 1,136 units, largely removing the discounts of the past four years.

WHAT VEHICLE WILL PAY HOW MUCH MTV?

* In 2022, the MTV annual payment for a car from 1 to 3 years old with a cylinder volume of 1300 was 1313 TL, while from 2023 it was increased to 2 thousand 120 TL. In other words, a citizen who pays 1060 TL MTV in January will pay another 1060 TL in July.

The additional MTV will be paid in two installments, for a total of 2,120 TL.

The first of these deadlines will be held until the end of August; The second installment will be paid at the end of November. Thus, the total MTV payout collected for 2023 will be increased by 100 percent ‘one time only’ as stated.
