V.A.T warning - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ!
« on: July 27, 2007, 12:27:42 PM »
One of our customer had a meal in a restaurant and when they want the bill , they realised that VAT (%18) was added to the bill although they were charged the prices which are written in the menu and menu prices must include the VAT .
If you see something like KDV (VAT in Turkish) added to your bill and the prices in the bill are same as menu prices , be sure they are trying to rip you off .
If they insist on saying that VAT is not included in their prices , please have a look at menu or on the walls (specially close to the place where they make the accounting) , you will see a writting "Fiyatlarimiza KDV dahildir" means VAT is included in our prices . And you can show this writting them.

A restaurant in Gocek tried that one on us a couple of years ago, when I complained they said it was a mistake[:o)], I wonder how many mistakes they did get away with.
Two restaurants have tried to overcharge us this week:(, the first asked 10 lira for a 6 lira bill and the other 27.50 lira for a 20 lira bill :o, both places corrected the bill when the mistake was pointed out with the aid of their calculator.
We have lived here long enough to know approx how much our bill will be, but if on holiday perhaps they would have got away with it.
So check your bills everyone.
Both the restaurants are popular with forum members and its the first time we have been overcharged in either so I wont name them, but if it happens again then I will.

 :)Its just not on, is it Smudge, We too have been over charged in some of the more popular restuarants, and your post has got me thinking are we that polite that we dont want to upset the applecart,Personally I dont mind giving to anyone, but I do resent it when its expected. And its not the case of they have to earn a living, we all do. I could tell a few similar stories, but I wont,
So I think you have done a good job raising this topic. ;)

All I would like to say at the moment is that we are very lucky to have Cenk as a member of this forum and to be given genuine advice by him.
Many thanks, Cenk
Pete

You're welcome Pete
I believe , if we stop that kind of rip off people as much as we can , it will be better for Turkey and visitors and this forum is really very useful for this.
