Is Turkey getting expensive

[minimoo]

The tax system does need sorting out for sure. There are many things which are taxed very highly, for example, if you rent business premises, the renter is taxed on what they pay, plus the landlord is also taxed, meaning the government are collecting twice.

There are also a vast number of people working, from part time bar staff to company directors who pay no personal income tax at all. Here is a catch 22 of the work regulations for foreigners. If you aren't legally allowed to employ them, you certainly can't tax what you pay them

Hi all,
Just read the thread right through. It's funny. Were still saying exactly the same things as we did two years ago.
I think we should change the topic title to: Is Turkey becoming to expensive.

Yes some things in UK are cheaper and some things in Turkey are cheaper.

But lets face it, to live full time in UK is expensive. It is getting more expensive to live in Turkey.
But ask me where I want to live, and thats Turkey.

I don't need a car, I don't have a mortgauge and I have found I don't even need as many cloths here.

The only thing we have splashed out on is a small ice maker. And that paid back after 18 months.

So, our house is in Turkey and until I cannot afford to live here, thats where it stays.

After,

Steve
