Taxes and Side Expenses
ONE-OFF COSTS
- Title Deed Transfer Tax: approximately 4% of the declared title deed value. Whilst the purchase price is paid in Euro (or the equivalent in other currency), the declared Tapu value will be shown in Turkish Lira.
- For example, if the purchasing price is 50.000 €, the Tapu value may be shown as 150.000 TL – the 4% tax, therefore, will be 6.000 TL. This is paid prior to title deed transfer. In addition, there will be a Land Registry registration fee of around 200 TL.

- Power of Attorney (if applicable): 200 €

ANNUAL FEES
Annual Property Tax: 0.6% of declared Tapu value in the 1st year of ownership, 0.2% for all years thereafter. So, on a property with a declared value of 150.000 TL, the tax liability will be 900 TL in the 1st year and 300 TL for all years thereafter.
