2026 MTV rates
The amounts come from the Motor Vehicle Tax General Communiqué No. 58, published in the Official Gazette of 31 December 2025, which raised 2026 MTV by 18.95% over the previous year. For example, a car registered in 2018 or later with a 1301–1600 cm³ engine, a value up to 309,100 TRY and an age of 1–3 years pays 10,016 TRY a year, in two instalments of 5,008 TRY. All tariff tables used are listed under the calculator with their source.
What determines MTV for a car
For cars first registered on or after 1 January 2018, tariff (I) uses engine displacement, age and vehicle value — the price including special consumption tax (ÖTV) but excluding VAT at first registration. The value band is fixed by the limits of the registration year and never changes; the tool shows the 2026 limits, so for older cars use the band in your registration or tax office record. Cars registered on or before 31 December 2017 follow tariff (I/A), regardless of value. Motorcycles are taxed by displacement and age; minibuses, panel vans, buses, light trucks and trucks by class and age under tariff (II).
Age, due dates and what is not covered
Age is counted including the model year: a 2026 model is 1 year old in 2026 and a 2024 model is 3. The annual tax is paid in two equal instalments by the end of January and July. Electric and hybrid tariffs, the disability exemption and other exemptions are not included. Expats who import or buy a car in Turkey, foreign residents and diaspora owners keeping a vehicle there can use the tool to budget; check the exact debt via the GİB online tax office or e-Devlet.
