July 31 Is the Last Day for Second MTV Installment Payments
The second installment of Motor Vehicles Tax (MTV) payments will end on July 31. Late payment interest will be charged for payments made after this date via tax offices, banks and mobile apps.
The second installment payment period for Motor Vehicles Tax (MTV) for 2026 ends on Friday, July 31. For this tax collected twice a year in January and July, late payment interest will apply to payments made after this date.
Where can payments be made?
MTV payments can be made at tax offices, PTT branches and physical bank branches, as well as via online banking or mobile apps.
Who is exempt from MTV?
Vehicles registered in the name of general and special budget institutions, social security institutions, provincial special administrations, municipalities, village legal entities and the Turkish Red Crescent are exempt from MTV. Also exempt are vehicles registered to persons with a disability rate of 90% or more and vehicles specially adapted to their needs. Vehicles belonging to foreign nationals serving at embassies and consulates of the state, as well as delegates and delegations arriving in the country, are also excluded.
How much MTV will be paid for which vehicle?
The amount to be paid varies according to criteria such as the vehicle's model year, type, engine cylinder volume, engine power and maximum total weight. For example, for vehicles with an engine cylinder volume of 1300 cc and a price exceeding 541,000 TL, the annual total is 6,902 TL for 1-3 year-old cars, 4,807 TL for 4-6 year-olds, and 2,693 TL for 7-11 year-olds.
For vehicles with engine cylinder volume between 1301-1600 cc and a value exceeding 541,000 TL, the payment is 12,028 TL for the 1-3 age group, 9,012 TL for the 4-6 age group, and 5,220 TL for the 7-11 age group.
MTV discount for electric vehicles
For electric motor vehicles, MTV payment is made at one-fourth of the normal rate. For instance, if the tax for a 2023 model car with 110 kW motor power and a vehicle value of 700,000 TL is calculated as 20,000 TL for the 1-3 age range, the electric vehicle owner will pay only 5,000 TL.
Do those who buy a car in August pay the July installment?
Vehicles purchased in the first six months of the tax period must have their MTV paid within one month. A person buying a brand-new car in August must pay by September at the latest, even if they missed the July installment. In second-hand purchases, as the sale can only be conducted for debt-free vehicles, the previous owner is required to have paid the installment.
Can vehicle-related official transactions be done without paying MTV?
For procedures such as inspection and buying/selling, the MTV debt must be cleared. Withdrawing the vehicle from traffic is also only possible after the tax debt is settled.
Can MTV be paid in installments?
Taxpayers in very difficult circumstances can apply to the tax office where the vehicle is registered for deferment and installment up to 36 months under Law No. 6183 for overdue MTV and late payment charges. In this case, deferment interest is applied.
Is MTV paid if the vehicle is used abroad?
The tax liability continues as long as the vehicle's registration is not canceled when it goes abroad; therefore, MTV assessment continues to be issued and payment must be made.
What happens to the MTV debt of a deceased person?
For previous period tax debts of a vehicle belonging to a deceased person, the heirs can request from the tax office where the vehicle is registered that the debt be assessed in proportion to their shares. This requires the heirs' identities to be determined and the situation to be documented.
