Türkiye Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV) Calculator

Rules and data: TürkiyeBy Hesaplayıcı

The MTV calculator finds the yearly Turkish motor vehicle tax of a car, motorcycle, minibus, panel van, bus or pickup, and its January and July installments. You enter the engine volume or the electric motor power, the model year and, for a car, the first registration date and the vehicle value. The amounts come from each year's tariff since 2005.

The model year on the registration certificate. The vehicle is 1 year old in its model year.

The first registration date on the certificate. That year’s value limits fix the row, which stays the same in later years.

The price at the first registration with the special consumption tax, without VAT: the VAT base on the invoice.

Worked example: A 1.6 petrol car registered in 2022, worth 650,000 TRY, 2026

Data period: the values in force from January 1, 2026.

Step by step

  1. Vehicle age

    age = tax year − model year + 1

    age = 2026 − 2022 + 1 = 5

  2. Row of tariff (I)

    row: where the vehicle value falls in the 2022 value limits

    1301–1600 cm³: vehicle value 650,000.00; 2022 value limits 70,600.00 / 123,700.00 → row 6 = 6

  3. tariff amount: tariff (I)

    row 6, age 4–6 → 9,012.00 = 9,012

  4. Installment (January and July)

    installment = yearly MTV / 2

    installment = 9,012.00 / 2 = 4,506.00 TRY

How to use

  1. Choose the tax year and the vehicle. The motor vehicle tax is set for a calendar year.
  2. Under Motor, choose the first option for petrol, diesel, LPG and hybrid vehicles, the second for electric-only ones. For an electric vehicle enter the motor power (kW) from the registration certificate; otherwise choose the engine volume, the seats of a bus or the maximum laden weight of a pickup or truck.
  3. Enter the model year from the registration certificate.
  4. For a car, choose whether its first registration in Türkiye was before or after 2018. For 2018 and later enter the first registration date and the vehicle value (with the special consumption tax, without VAT). The VAT calculator finds the price without VAT from the price with VAT.
  5. For a car registered before 2018, enter its kasko value under More options if you know it.

Formula

yearly MTV = tariff amount (row, age group), installment = yearly MTV / 2

  • Age: tax year − model year + 1. Cars and motorcycles have the age groups 1–3, 4–6, 7–11, 12–15 and 16 and over; minibuses, panel vans, buses and trucks 1–6, 7–15 and 16 and over.
  • Row: for a car registered from 2018, the place of its vehicle value within its engine band, by the value limits of the first registration year; it stays the same in later years. The rows and limits are on the MTV by year page.
  • Electric vehicle: yearly MTV = tariff amount × 25%; the motor power picks the row.
  • Kasko rule (registered before 2018): if yearly MTV > kasko value × 5%, the amount of the next lower engine band applies.

Each year the amounts are last year’s amounts raised by the revaluation rate or by a rate the President sets; fractions under 1 TRY are dropped (art. 10).

Worked example

The example on this page calculates the 2026 tax of a 1301–1600 cm³ petrol car first registered in 2022 with a vehicle value of 650,000 TRY. The value is above the 2022 limits, so the car is taxed in row 6; it is 5 years old in 2026, so the age 4–6 column applies. The yearly tax is split into two equal installments.

Limits

  • The calculator shows the one-time additional MTV of 2023; it leaves out late payment interest, traffic fines and tax debts.
  • It does not check the exemptions for disabled people, diplomats, public bodies and others (art. 4).
  • It applies the kasko rule one row down; for cars registered from 2018 there is no decision on this rule.
  • It does not compute electric-only vehicles before 2019. Tariff (IV) for aircraft and helicopters is not in the calculator.
  • The 2005–2008 amounts are in new Turkish lira; 1 YTL = 1 TRY, so the numbers equal today’s lira.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the MTV paid?

The motor vehicle tax is paid every year in two equal installments, in January and July (Law 197 art. 9). A vehicle first registered during the year pays the whole year when registered January–June and only the second half when registered July–December.

What is the vehicle value and where do I find it?

The vehicle value is the price at the first registration with the special consumption tax and without VAT (art. 2/20): the VAT base on the invoice. It is asked only for cars first registered on 1 January 2018 or later.

How is the MTV of an electric car calculated?

The motor power (kW) of an electric-only car picks the rows of one engine volume band; the vehicle value picks one of those rows. The car pays 25% of that row’s amount. The rule started in 2019.

Which tariff applies to a car bought before 2018?

A car first registered by 31 December 2017 is taxed by engine volume and age under tariff (I/A), whatever its value. If the tax is more than 5% of the January kasko value, you can apply to the tax office and pay the amount of the row below.

How is the vehicle’s age counted?

A vehicle is 1 year old in the model year on its registration certificate (art. 11). A 2022 model car is 5 years old in 2026 and is taxed in the age 4–6 column.

Calculation rules

  • Motor Vehicle Tax Law no. 197: cars and motorcycles are taxed by tariff (I); minibuses, panel vans, buses and trucks by tariff (II). Cars first registered before 1 January 2018 are taxed by tariff (I/A) (provisional art. 8).
  • For a car first registered from 2018, the vehicle value against the value limits of the year of first registration picks the row, which stays the same in later years. The vehicle value is the price with the special consumption tax, without VAT (art. 2/20).
  • A vehicle is 1 year old in its model year (art. 11). The tax is paid in two equal installments, in January and July (art. 9). A vehicle first registered during the year pays the whole year when registered January–June and only the second half when registered July–December.
  • An electric-only vehicle pays 25% of the row its motor power (kW) picks, since 2019 (Law no. 7103). Hybrids are taxed by engine volume. The calculator does not compute electric vehicles before 2019.
  • For a car first registered before 2018, if the tax is more than 5% of the January kasko value, the amount of the row below applies (since 2007, on application). The calculator applies this one row down; there is no such decision for cars registered from 2018.
  • In 2023 every vehicle paid a one-time additional MTV equal to its 2023 tax (Law no. 7456). Exemptions for disabled people, diplomats and others, late payment interest and traffic fines are not included.
