Rental Agreement authorization
My Nephew has rented his house in Chatalkoy for a year.
He has to get the agreement that has been signed authorized by a government body so that he can pay tax.
Can anyone tell me where this can be done, as a solicitor has quoted him £400 (Sterling)
I've just thought should it be in Turkish?

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Surely a simple stamp and a few lira at the tax office in girne. Was that simple when I rented out however that was a long time ago.

I believe they have to be in English and Turkish.Hair Cut wrote: ↑Fri 22 Oct 2021 8:43 amMy Nephew has rented his house in Chatalkoy for a year.

It might be much cheaper to go to one of the estate agents/letting agents and see if they will draw you a rental agreement up

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Rental Agreements can be found online, just tailor to your requirements. Have it signed by the landlord, a witness and your nephew. Once all done go along to the tax office with your passport and photocopy of both.
My landlord is in lefkosia, so I drove there, once signed went along to the tax office, saw one woman who completed the paperwork, gave me an invoice which was for the tax and paid in office opposite. Took approx 20mins in and out.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
If he has a rental agreement he just needs to take it to the tax office with his passport and get it stamped and pay the tax on the contract which is 0.5% of the value. The landlord will be responsible for the rental tax each month. They accept English contracts.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
No, the tax office is in the same room/building where you pay your car road tax..... Near to the Girne state hospital.
Providing the contract is signed by the landlord and the tenant, and witnessed then that's all they require. I always use an English contract
Compass
ps. Even if there's a large queue at the door, go to the front and tell them you are paying "Kira stoppage". ..... rental tax, as it's a separate queue/number system for this department

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Is it still OK to just turn up for registering rental agreements? Planning to take a friend tomorrow.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Thanks we got there before 9am and they were seen right away(using Compass's tip) and then paid registration fee - no queue. Next month rental tax needs to be paid - after the first payment can it be done online? How does that get set up?kedikat2903 wrote: ↑Fri 20 May 2022 5:53 amGo early .

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
There isn't a number system for the rental tax section you just go to the desks. To pay online the landlord has to fill in a form and show their passport. Only the landlord can do this (I have been told). Same desks as for getting the monthly paperwork processed.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Last month there was definitely a number system for rental tax. Maybe only used if busy. Who knows I tried to get a number out of the machine. Wouldn’t let me. Went to the desk. Gave the form in . Got it stamped. Then told to come back tomorrow to pay. When I asked why I was told all numbers finished. So I said why can’t I pay? You just stamped the form. I have the correct amount. Was told no number so you can’t pay.

Take a photocopy of the rental agreement as the tax office keeps a copy.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
Yes, yesterday they had to get a number using the middle (Gelirler) button on ticket machine to pay the contract registration fee. To pay rental tax there seems to be a different number system - bottom button? There wasn't a queue for any of the cashiers at 08:45.kedikat2903 wrote: ↑Sat 21 May 2022 6:03 amLast month there was definitely a number system for rental tax. Maybe only used if busy.

Re: Rental Agreement authorization
I agree you need a number to pay but unless it has changed in just over a week the desks where the paperwork is processed have never had a number system. I've always wondered why.
