The Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mehmet Şimşek, requested that companies charging extra fees for credit card payments be reported, and the first company that came to the agenda after this statement was TÜVTÜRK. Citizens reported that the company charged an additional 80 TL for vehicle inspections. MINISTER ŞİMŞEK: REPORT THOSE WHO CHARGE COMMISSION ON CREDIT CARDSIn his statement, Minister of Treasury and Finance Mehmet Şimşek drew attention to companies that request different prices for credit card payments. Minister Şimşek, who asked citizens to report these companies, said, "We apply the necessary penalties to businesses that do not offer the option to pay by bank or credit card or that request different prices. You can report businesses that do not pay their taxes to our Revenue Administration." THE FIRST REPORTED COMPANY WAS TÜVTÜRKFollowing Şimşek's call, citizens began to report TÜVTÜRK on social media. Citizens stated that the company charged an additional 80 TL commission for vehicle inspections. NOT A COMMISSION BUT A SERVICE FEEOn the other hand, the "commission" claim had also come to the agenda in June, and TÜVTÜRK had stated at that time that the difference in question was a "service fee." The statement included the following expressions: "Payments made by credit card or bank card are carried out through a service provider company that offers a one-time payment service to our customers in accordance with Law No. 6493 and relevant legislation, and in return for the one-time payment service provided, a 'service fee' is collected from our customers by the service provider company. As TÜVTÜRK, we do not charge any additional fees other than the inspection fee for payments made by bank card and credit card, which are offered as alternative payment methods for paying vehicle inspection fees. News in the media stating that 'TÜVTÜRK charges a commission for payments made by credit card' does not reflect the truth and is presented to the public's information."
