As the end of the year approaches, attention has turned to the taxes, fees, and traffic fines that will be implemented in 2026. According to the calculations made by Ekonomim writer Alaattin Aktaş based on the revaluation rate (YDO), the increase rate will be 25.25%. This rate will affect not only traffic fines but also the Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV) and property tax.
REVALUATION RATE IS 25.25%
In his assessment regarding the revaluation rate, Ekonomim writer Alaattin Aktaş stated:
"My prediction is that the Yİ-ÜFE will show an increase of 1.5% in September and October. In this case, the annual average Yİ-ÜFE increase at the end of October, in other words, the revaluation rate will be 25.25%."
Aktaş emphasized that the President does not have the authority to change the increase in traffic fines, stating that the fines will directly increase by 25.25% in 2026.

MTV AND PROPERTY TAX WILL ALSO INCREASE
The increase will not be limited to traffic fines. Aktaş stated that the Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV) will also increase at the same rate, saying, "MTV has been applied at the level of YDO for two years (2024 and 2025). It will be the same in 2026."
In property tax, a different method is applied. According to the law, property tax is increased by half of the YDO rate. Therefore, a 12.62% increase in property tax is expected in 2026.
