Transfer of Title Deeds
Just heard that the BRS have posted that the price will be going up from 3% to 12%, a huge rise! Can anyone verify this or provide a link?

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
As far as I can tell from Google translate, 6% of the 12% is to go to the IPC for compensation.a1sysman wrote: ↑Fri 03 Feb 2023 9:55 pmThe official Gazette.

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
As far as I can tell - the 12% does not apply to TC's or Turkish citizens - but does apply to all other foreign buyers.
This will skew the market in favour of TC's/Turkish buyers - apart from Foreigners with unlimited funds who desperately need to buy outside of their home Country (you know who I mean!)
British are no longer the majority house buyers as far as I know...
Does anyone have any different thoughts on this?

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
Well that will do wonders for the property market...even at 6% for the Turkish and Turkish Cypriot buyers it’s substantial. Why would anyone pay 12% when you can buy in Europe for a great deal less.

Possibly "Foreigners with unlimited funds who desperately need to buy outside of their home Country (you know who I mean!)" including those who might not be 'welcomed with open arms' in other Countries at the present time...Why would anyone pay 12% when you can buy in Europe for a great deal less.

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
Property tax has always been in Lira just as all other taxes car tax water rates etc
For sales tax take the sale price on the contract xxxxxx euro's or £'s and multiply by the official exhange rate for that period and then multiply by the tax rate

I thought unless completed within a short time the property was valued again. I will find out soon enough

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
I recall a few years ago a suggestion that a tax be levied on properties to fund the compensation through IPC, as touched on in earlier post. This may make some sense, but a bit unfair on properties with pre 74 turkish title I think. There has always been the suggestion that exchange deeds land or property was cheaper than turkish title, so it would seem fairly reasonable, IF it only applied to exchange that this would contribute to the compensation fund... maybe.

Not sure if this online translation helps or hinders...

Amended. Now with attached file rather than linked file. Hopefully when one clicks on the new image it will display larger and somewhat clearer.

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
It's currently 6% anyway but there is a discount of 3% for the first transfer . Perhaps there might be a discount as 12% will severely hamper the sales and potentially reduce the revenue received .so could be 9% so it's still a lot with 5 % kdv plus 0.5 % contract fee for new builds plus lawyers over priced fee. I suppose they will argue a functioning IPC will help allay the concerns about trnc title as at the moment they just delay paying out because they are not funded .
Worse case scenario could be c £19000 for a £100 k new build in tl of course...
When does this become law ?? There might be a rush for deeds from foreigners .
As for other countries in Europe transfer tax is 6.5% Portugal 8-10 % Spain and 9 % Italy ...

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
Not great news for us on our sale/purchase, yet another holdup why should l not be surprised? Don't think it will be good for the sales market

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
I'm a citizen but to be honest it doesn't look good a tax on foreigners to pay for the land and property they stole. That sort of nepotism is not a good look imo.

Re: Transfer of Title Deeds
Will the tax be worked out on contract price or will they revalue ?
