Holiday Let New Controls

I repeat, I have no business ,interest in legalrentalsturkey.com.

You're listed as Managing Director on the web site and you introduced yourself here as the manager of legalrentalsturkey.com.

If you read our website, all services you mention above has a cost, price. Do you want your garden to be taken care of, it costs you. Do you want transfers from airport: It costs you Do you want a special day organised: It costs you

You have no business interest in a website that you call "our website" which is made up primarily of links to services you offer, like property management, but as manager one day and MD of it another, you have no interest financially in the company at all? You tell us about the things people might want from "our website" that have a cost - but as manager and MD you don't benefit financially from any of these charged for services Volkan? You really think people will buy that?

This is the last time i am logging in this forum because all you are doing is trying to find holes in the laws.

I don't think it's the laws people are finding holes in Volkan.

I really don't believe you don't understand such a simple equation, but i will even further simply it for you.

There is a company in turkey called Sabancı Holding. The manager directors name is Guler Sabancı. Their website is www.sabanci.com

In this website there are business activities where Guler Sabancı has a financial interest, such as AKBANK, AKFINANS, AKSIGORTA, AVIVASA, LASSA....

Than at the same website there are non-profit organisations such as Türkan Sabancı Görme Engelliler ilköğretim Okulu, SABANCI VAKFI, SABANCI MUZESI, where they make no money, just do their social responsibility.

For intsance, if you buy a insurance policy from AKSIGORTA from www.sabanci.com, Mrs. Sabanci makes money. If you have a child with eye sight disability you apply to Türkan Sabancı Görme Engelliler ilköğretim Okulu and your child gets free education in special needs children school.

Now do you email Mrs Sabanci and say that "How could you claim that you have no financial interest in SANACI VAKFI or "Türkan Sabancı Görme Engelliler ilköğretim Okulu" which are on your www.sabanci.com website when you clearly claim that you are the MD of www.sabanci.com and you are clearly asking money for insurance policies and everything else you sell there.

I understand that historically, less financially aware people were sold property on the basis that it would be an investment (and provide an income in retirement.....etc) and they are probably upset with the reality that the property is not 'washing its face' in monetary terms. Without being harsh, that is their problem for not looking into the numbers properly and this is probably why they are now reacting so strongly to what seems to me a legitimate request from the Turkish revenue office to ensure the taxes due are paid (on the side of minister of revenues), and legitimate request to be able to follow who is staying where to ensure safer environment for the public (on the side of ministry of internal affairs), and levitamate request to be able to have controls on the health and safety regulations in means of fire resistant doors, properly checked pools, approved habitation licenses (On the side of municipiality).....

What makes me upset is that when there are clearly written laws, we are discussing the legitimate of what i do and what i say, where its so simple to check:

1) read the laws and no need for a discussion how and what to do
2) Try me and see if we will ask you a single penny for help in registration.

Simple. Since you are making the accusation or questioning the legitimacy of our work, the burden is on you to prove your stand. I don't have to defend myself because i never asked anyone a single penny to register them or to advise them. I repeat, you do not have to buy it. As i said before, its up to you (people) to take it or leave it. However, once and if you smear what we are doing without a solid ground and a proof, see that belongs to another subject, that will be dealt with another law: http://www.ticaretkanunu.net/ttk-madde-55/

I thought that the registration process had been extended till the end of June, so how come fines are being handed out now?

[KKOB]

Does anyone know of any 1 of these 10,000 owners being fined ?

That is the one idea that won't work - people might not know where they are staying the next time they visit, just the first time.

In that case make them complete an extra form on the plane with their accommodation address. Hand it in at passport control similar to what they do in Thailand.

It's not a difficult operation to get a visitor to tell the authorities where they are intending to stay.

If they are serious about the security measures they are attempting to put in place then there aren't many other options.

Again, the word tax appears countless times in these new lengthy responses but the word terrorism doesn't appear once.

Has anyone recently travelled to Turkey and have they been asked where they are staying? Instead of being told we will be asked,  would be nice to actually hear some evidence of this. Please share your experience as I'm sure many on here are confused.com. 

Our customers arrived 5 days ago. No one asked them where they will stay.

This topic seems to have gone quiet  - any more clues/clarity emerged on the family & friends situation.

Has anyone been through the process of registering as yet, we are out next week been advised the need to bring our laptop with us in order do it.
Bit of a pain given current security issue with bringing laptops & that fact we are only travelling with hand luggage.

Who advised you to bring a laptop?
