Holiday Let New Controls

The rules state somewhere that if only direct family members who share the same surname of the owner stay in the property there would be no rental tax due on the presumption that an owner wouldn't charge his own son, 'unmarried' daughter, or parents a rental fee. Therefore, further presuming that the property is not registered for Rental Income Tax because it is only used by the same-surname family/families. Best to change your name to Smith and advertise only to the Smiths! I feel a song.....

Still wondering where you got this information from?

Good news
Police system is been updated. They informed us that static ip will be only for hotels. For aparts and villas no need statik ip you can connect from anywhere. But again police told you have to buy a software. There is many software to do that (more than 30) cheapest one 250.

This was the reply I got from Dogan Sahin via the FT article:

"Yes close family can stay and no you do not have to inform authorities, provided you do not operate  as business"

 I know it's not formal legal advice but he appears to have decent credentials.

At 5,000 lira a night penalty if he's wrong, you seem pretty relaxed about his advice being reliable.

This is a very concise and interesting post on FB. It should answer a lot of questions for people.

Seems many have nothing to fear. Others will have to register as a business and comply with the new laws.

At least one person on there who I suspect has a different agenda to most participants.

Looks like I was correct then, when you look at "our team".  Look out for more businesses like this springing up in the next few weeks.

Just a pity their web site doesn't work properly - as first point of client contact if they can't get the basics right...

I'm sure there will be many making money out of the new rules. However I have no idea what your post means with regard to who is in their team.

 All I'm bothered about is getting the correct information so that we do not fall foul of the new rules. Like many owners I suspect.

Are you saying the information is incorrect in any way or that we should ignore what they say?

Seems to be working just fine for me.

Have you tried switching it off and back on again ?
