WHAT IS THE REVALUATION RATE?
The Revaluation Rate is calculated in accordance with article 298 of the Tax Procedure Law.
Revaluation Rate refers to the average rate of price increase in the General Producer Price Index (IPP) for October of the year to be revalued compared to the same period of the previous year.
The revaluation rate becomes clear when TÜİK announces inflation rates for October at the beginning of November each year. The Ministry of Treasury and Finance makes this rate known to the public through a Announcement in the Official Gazette.
THERE WAS A 123 PERCENT INCREASE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW YEAR
While passport fees were regulated in early 2023, there was an increase of around 123 percent.
Passport fees have increased 123 percent since 2023, breaking an unprecedented record, as the president did not use his authority to reduce the fee. This time a 50 percent increase was made, effective in the second half of the year.
The increase rate valid for 2022 was announced at 36.2 percent.
