The deadline for the first installment payment of the motor vehicle tax (MTV), which concerns millions of vehicle owners, is February 2, while the 32nd installments under the restructuring law numbered 7440 can also be paid on the same day.
The first installment of the motor vehicle tax (MTV) for this year and the installment payments to be made within the scope of debt restructuring must be completed by February 2. The extended period due to the weekend will end on Monday.
PAID IN TWO INSTALLMENTS IN JANUARY AND JULY
MTV is assessed annually in January by the tax office where the vehicles are registered and recorded. The tax is paid in two equal installments in January and July. The first installment payment period, which started on January 1, will end on February 2 due to the weekend coinciding with January 31.
PAYMENTS CAN BE MADE THROUGH DIGITAL AND PHYSICAL CHANNELS
MTV payments can be made through the Digital Tax Office (dijital.gib.gov.tr) and the GİB mobile application between 00:10 and 23:50. The tax can also be paid using bank and credit cards of contracted banks, via bank transfer from a bank account, and with cards belonging to foreign banks. Additionally, banks authorized for tax collection, tax office cashiers, and PTT branches are also among the payment points.
Payments can be made through the Digital Tax Office without entering a password by entering either the license plate and T.C. identity number along with the registration date or the ownership document date. It is important for taxpayers making payments online to only use the "gib.gov.tr" address or the official websites of banks to avoid any issues.
AN INCREASE OF 18.95% HAS BEEN APPLIED TO MTV
The motor vehicle tax was increased by 18.95% in line with the inflation target set for 2026.
DEADLINE FOR MANY DECLARATIONS AND PAYMENTS IS FEBRUARY 2
February 2 is a critical date not only for MTV but also for some declarations and payments. The submission of the tourism share for the period of October-November-December 2025 and the communication and digital services tax declarations for December 2025, as well as the payment of the accrued taxes, must be completed by this date. The payment period for the 32nd installments under the restructuring regulation numbered 7440 will also end on Monday. Additionally, the last day for the payment of the recovery participation fee for the period of October-November-December 2025 and annual fees has been set as February 2.
