Regulatory Pivot in Foreign-Plated Vehicle Usage in Turkey

The Interior Ministry and Trade Ministry have jointly approved a new regulatory framework aimed at alleviating administrative and fiscal burdens faced by expatriates utilizing foreign-plated vehicles in Turkey. This initiative, particularly targeting EU-tax-incompatible vehicles, introduces revised tax liability structures, streamlined registration processes, and adjustments to import duties and fuel consumption taxes. The policy shift signals a strategic recalibration for the Turkish Revenue Administration, with implications for fiscal forecasts.
