The new SCT regulation , which was submitted to the parliament in the days we left behind and concerns electric cars , was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force today . With the new regulation in question, major reductions in the price tag of most electric cars are expected.
While the SCT rate applied to electric cars in Turkey reduces the incentive to use electric cars, a bill that is expected to bring a solution to this situation was presented to the parliament in the past days.
The bag was rearranging the rates of the SCT tax collected from electric vehicles in the SCT regulation proposal included in the law. The proposal for the Special Consumption Tax Regulation was accepted by the vote held in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM).
What does the new SCT Regulation offer?
- Those whose engine power does not exceed 160 kW
