High-value homes in Turkey will now attract an additional tax as the country implemented its new ‘Valuable House Tax’ after a year’s delay, Turkish news portal Hurriyet Daily News reported.
Turkish residential properties with a valuation of more than 5.25 million Turkish liras ($700,330) will be subject to an annual tax on the amount exceeding this limit.
This new tax on luxury real estate passed into law at the end of 2019, but its implementation was delayed for a year.
