- The Turkish Revenue Administration said VAT paid on a commercial vehicle bought while taxed under the simplified regime cannot later be deducted.
- The taxpayer had started service transport in 2019, bought a vehicle in 2023, stopped the activity in 2025, and restarted in 2026 under the normal tax regime.
- Even after switching to the normal regime, the VAT from the 2023 vehicle purchase was deemed non-deductible.
- The decision was based on VAT law rules requiring deductible input VAT to be related to taxable activities and properly documented in the relevant period.
