A new system of calculating import taxes in Turkey has been introduced, aiming to safeguard domestic producers and prevent unfair market competition. The system involves separating the import tax into two accounts, the relative and the Mass Housing Fund. The taxes on specific products like garlic, walnut, banana, tea, and sunflower oil have not changed. An additional customs tax of 4 to 20 percent has been imposed on beers made from imported pasta, biscuits, yeast, and malt. The new system will also enforce stricter controls on imports to prevent false invoices and protect local producers. The collected additional tax will continue to be transferred to the Treasury.
