- A Presidential Decree in Turkey has removed the right to deduct import VAT due to certain trade policy measures.
- Importers will no longer be able to deduct VAT calculated on their import transactions for anti-dumping duty, countervailing duty, protective measures, and surveillance instruments.
- This means that the amount of VAT deductible for imported products subject to these trade policy measures will be lower.
- The new Presidential Decree abolishes the right to deduct VAT paid on the increased value declared in customs declarations for goods subject to surveillance in imports.
- VAT will also not be deductible for customs duties, additional financial obligations, anti-dumping duties, countervailing duties, and various taxes, duties, fees, and shares included in the VAT base.
