1 million TL in us, 460 thousand TL in Bosnia
Due to the high rates of the Special Consumption Tax (SCT) and the Value Added Tax (VAT), the price of new cars doubles. Academician Yüksel Hoş reacted to the fact that the Fiat Egea brand vehicle produced in Turkey was being sold in Turkey for more than double the price abroad. Former MHP Kastamonu deputy Harun Yılmaz replied: “We are buying new cars for 1 million and we are happy, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it.” More than half of this vehicle’s sales price consists of taxes.
Academician Yüksel Hoş shared on his social media account: “This vehicle is Egea. Its characteristic is that it is produced in Türkiye. The price is exactly 1 million lira. But the same vehicle costs 460,000 lira in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Think about it, why? It is a shame for us to have to pay so much money for a wheeled vehicle in Göbekli Tepe, which is a place where history and civilization began, and probably where wheels were first found.”
“DO NOT BUY IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT”
MHP’s Harun Yılmaz told the academic: “I don’t ride Aegean. Last year I sold my Volvo for 320 and bought a Passat for 430. This year I will sell the Passat for 1200, put between 300 and 500 on top and buy something else. I travel under condition. Fiorino, who couldn’t find Egea, should buy it, but it didn’t work out, let him buy second-hand Linea, ”he pointed out.
Yüksel Hoş, on the other hand, added to this post: “The important advice of our deputy brother of the 26th term of the MHP for us poor bastards. Let’s listen.”
While in Turkey a VAT rate of 20 percent is applied to vehicles, the SCT applies at rates of 45 percent, 50 percent, 60 percent, 70 percent, 80 percent, 130 percent, 150 percent and 220 percent, depending on cylinder volume and price. vehicle.
TAX OF 531 THOUSAND LIRA
While the catalog sale price of the Lounge 1.3 M.Jet 95 CV model of the Fiat Egea Sedan is 1 million 3 thousand 900 TL, the tax-free price of the vehicle is 472 thousand 646 TL. The price of the vehicle, to which is added 80 percent of the SCT and 20 percent of VAT, suddenly doubles. The total taxes amount to 531 thousand 254 TL, exceeding the tax-free price of the vehicle by 58 thousand 608 liras.
