I just paid my council tax. They barely glanced at my Tapu and did not ask for my passport.
I was charged 150 TL for the year ( just a normal bill with no road tax or anything else and just 1 person living here).
My friend, 500 yards down the road in the same design house ( also living alone) just paid 54 TL for the year. Can anyone throw any light on this or do they make it up as they go along ( as they seem to for the water bill - see separate thread). Could
it be something with the declared size of the building on the Tapu ?
Hi Maximumtom.
Just went to pay the council tax this morning. We have a 2 bedroom apartment aprox 70 sq meters. Our council tax went up by 21TL this year. Last year we paid 55TL and this year it was 76TL.....there appears to be no rhyme or reason to the way the council tax is worked out.Our neighbours in the next block to us paid less road tax than us and around 30TL less council tax....and their apartment is 1/3 bigger than ours.
I think that they just pluck gures out of the air!!
