Hi Scunner,
Sorry to hijack the thread but this has interested me. Firstly, it's good to know the correct price is now registered on the tapus , that should put a lot of people's minds at rest when buying now.
The second thing, I was told you had to pay Capital Gains Tax in the UK for any overseas holiday home you've sold? Or any property that is not your main residence, you have to pay CGT on, and the HMRC somehow know if you have sold a property overseas? I don't know how they actually know, but I've heard that they do know somehow
I think they watch the activity on our bank accounts too!
I think CGT is 40% in the UK, but I didn't realise you had to pay tax to the Turkish authorities too. That sounds really unfair.
I also heard there's a time span or something whereby you're no longer liable for CGT?
