The Tax Office, in their wisdom, have now decided that all quad bikes should be taxed as 4 x 4 vehicles and are taxing them accordingly. They also want to backdate the tax to the date of purchase. This obviously means you will pay far more tax for the vehicle. They have sent a letter to your address but, like me, you may have not received the letter. If so, it will be waiting for you at the tax office. You can choose to pay the tax or, if you don't agree with the classification, go to Court.
If you have bought your quad bike from Erko motors then may I suggest you contact Ece Koylu, Advocat, who is married to the owner of Erko Motors, Atinc (pronounced Altinch) who will take your case to Court on your behalf for 120 lira, no fees involved just the costs of Court. If they win this money will be refunded.
They have also said that if you didn't buy a Quad from them they will also help you.
If you have a letter waiting at the tax office then you have one month to reply. May I suggest we all fight this as the costs of 4 x 4 car tax price is very high and, after all, this is not a car. Do you see many people wearing helmets in a car[?]:D
To all people reading this could you please pass on the information to all your friends who are quad bike owners, they may not read this. Thanks
The phone no. to contact is 02526123393

sorry joannasal, don't know. I found out about a month ago and there was a letter waiting for me in the tax office. Suggest you contact the phone number I put in the post, they can give you all the details
-
Thanks peecee. Will do.
-
Does any one have any updates on this? I am getting no replies from either Mr. Altinc or his wife (Ece Koylu).
-
you also have to pay a tax even if you have already sold it you need to take all your paperwork to the tax office
-
I popped in to see Mr Altinc a couple of weeks ago and asked if a Court date had been set. His reply he thought it would be in the next six week-ish (which gave me the impression no date had been set!) Am going again tomorrow and will let you know what is said.

How can you they charge car tax prices when you only need a motor bike licence to drive one ,surely it ought to be a car license to drive one.
-
Peecee - that would be great. As you know my situation is slightly different and my charges are increasing daily. Any info you have would be excellent.

The taxing law for vechiles has been changed this Jan. According to new law, the vechile is taxed according to its class (motorbike, automobile, truck etc.) it's engine volume and age.
In the last law 4x4 vechiles were taxed differently but with the new law it is all changed. Please keep that in mind.
