What is MTV?
The Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV) is an annual wealth tax charged to owners of registered motor vehicles. The amount depends on the vehicle type, engine displacement, age and, for vehicles first registered after 2018, the tax value.
MTV is paid in two equal instalments: the first in January and the second in July. Amounts are increased every year by the revaluation rate.
How is MTV calculated?
Your vehicle's engine displacement and age group are enough. Vehicle age is determined by the year of first registration, not the model year. For example, in 2026 a 2024 model vehicle is in the 1-3 age group.
The table used here shows the annual tax by engine displacement and age group of the passenger car and station wagon tariff. When you choose, the annual amount and the two instalments are listed together.
What affects the MTV amount?
The larger the engine, the higher the tax; as the vehicle ages the tax gradually falls. Vehicles up to 1,300 cc are in the lowest group and those over 4,001 cc in the highest.
Electric vehicles are subject to a separate tariff based on criteria such as motor power and price. Tax exemptions may apply to vehicles of disabled people and certain exempt categories.
What happens if MTV is not paid?
Late payment interest applies to MTV not paid on time. Inspection, transfer and sale of a vehicle with outstanding debt cannot be completed. You can pay through e-Devlet, banks or tax offices.
