Usage Of Vehicles In Turkey Brought From Abroad By Foreigners

Buying and owning a vehicle in Turkey typically involves paying various taxes and fees. These may differ based on the vehicle's value, type, age, and engine size. These include the Value Added Tax (VAT), Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV), Special Consumption Tax (SCT), notary fees, and traffic insurance.

Nevertheless, foreign individuals benefit from certain advantages when importing vehicles into Turkey. Foreigners can take advantage of tax exemptions by temporarily importing their vehicles from their home country and registering them with the Turkish temporary admission system (YTGGK). The import process for a vehicle purchased in Turkey does not differ procedurally from that of an imported vehicle.
