Anywhere in the world we need to pay Taxes. If you want to purchase a property in Turkey you need to pay some taxes as well.
I will catagorize property taxes in Turkey for 4 phases.
VAT
Before you buy property you need to sign a contract with developer. In payment section of contract you will see VAT Tax.
After you completed all payment to developer , company needs to invoice you about your property. When they invoice to you VAT is changable %1 to %18. I will try to explain you difference.
If you purchase a residence below 150 sqm you will generally pay %1 VAT. If you buy a luxury property VAT can go up to %8 to %18. But some exemptions also available. Some developers demolish risky buildings and build new luxury residences . So goverment can give some exemptions to that developers and if you are also buying luxury concept you may see %1 VAT.
If you purchase a residence above 150 sqm you will pay %18 VAT .
If you purchase a shop or commercial unit also you will pay %18 VAT.
For Tax Exemption letter there are a few conditions. It must be your first purchase in Turkey also you havent been in Turkey before 6 months duration.
