Turksih Council Tax??
« on: May 14, 2006, 18:01:36 PM »
The last time I came over was in October and I payed my water bill (to date) set up a direct debit for the electric through the bank and then paid my Turkish equilivant of the coucil tax. For the life of me I can't remember where I paid it the Tax (Is the office near the Gima Supermarket?) and I'm wondering how much would I be expected to pay? As I'm sure that it should have been paid in April.

Thanks all.

Above Gima ....same building as you pay your water bill but at the counters on the opposite side (the left as you go in) It is about half way down and has a sign above saying "Emlak Servisi" It is not essential but does help if you have your tax number with you. It is peanuts and if you do get charged for late payment it is even smaller peanuts. I think you have until the end of this month anyway. :)

In the two years that we have had our house we have not paid any council tax unless it was done while we were there on other business with a Turkish friend helping us. It is good to know that it is not too expensive. Shall have to check next month.

Ours more than doubled this year too.
It's still a small fraction of what we pay here though.

Hi All
We paid last week. It is in the Beledeyise office over Gima and diagonally to the left as Tribalelder said. We took a copy of our Tapu and did the business in less than 5 minutes. This was our first payment since we got our Tapu in April 2005 but it was dated Feb 2005. The receipt for 80 YTL (3 bedroom duplex) was not itemised but we think a late payment fine might be included. They could fine us every time in England if they charged £32 instead of £1400.  8)

p.s We later learned that you can also pay at the sub office on the corner near the police station in Gunlukbasi where we paid our water bill.

If you live at the Koca Calis end then you pay at Ciftlik and not Fethiye - just for info.

We paid ours recently and our tax has doubled .
What we are not sure of is both the wife and i had a tax card.
We took them both to the beledeyse and obviously paid for both.
We are not sure if that is correct or we should only have paid for one as we only own 1 house.
Two names on Tapu ,does this effect anything?
So opinions should we pay for 1 or 2
