Treasury Minister Nureddin Nebati has announced that after taking the first step in food and being presented to President Erdogan, efforts to simplify VAT will be phased in. Both citizens and sectors have focused on reducing VAT in housing. The Revenue Administration has conducted a comprehensive survey of dual VAT systems, within the scope of working with representatives of the sector.
According to Hazal Ateş news from Sabah, a dual system that is activated in response to consumer and sector demand is expected to reduce VAT burden over 150 square meters by 18%. The calculation is based on the value of the house and the unit price per square meter.
Residential VAT discounts are approaching
Home sale outlook
Sector representatives pointed out that paying 18% VAT for residences over 1-2 meters would result in illegal activity. The project brought to the fore the idea of applying taxes to encourage the use of net square meters of homes on sales and ownership certificates. With the new model, consumers will not face a significant increase when they buy a 151-square-meter home.
Expected decline in home prices
If the new system is adopted, the 150 sqm section will be taxed at 8% and the 1 sqm section will be taxed at 18%. For example; 80,000 Lira VAT is paid for a 150 square meter flat of 1 million Lira, while 180,000 Lira VAT is paid for 155 square meters. Under the new system, a 5 square meter section will be taxed at 18%, which is 5805 lira. In this case, the amount paid will be 85,805 lira. Sector representatives say the regulation will increase demand for homes over 150 square meters, revive the sector and lower prices. Therefore, consumers will not face an exorbitant increase in 160 square meters of homes. For VAT discounts for zero homes, the discount depends on the price.
The price of the title certificate is also in the table
Also, according to the information just before the acquisition, although the application of 1% for urban transformation continues, it is expected that the deed fee will be adjusted. The deed fee is taken at a rate of 20/1000 of the value of the house. As of today, in a 1 million lira house, the buyer pays 20,000 lira and the seller pays a deed fee of 20,000 lira.
