The price of electronic devices is increasing day by day. We can say that this is mainly caused by inflation, the dollar rate and high taxes. In the past months, it has come to the fore to reduce or abolish the SCT taken from technological products. So how much would the iPhone 14 prices be without SCT?
iPhone 14 prices without SCT!
There are several different taxes in iPhone prices that we do not know. For example, in addition to SCT and VAT, there are two other taxes in the price we pay, namely the TRT banderol and the Ministry of Culture. But not all of them are applied on the principal.
When we look at the phones sold in Turkey, we see that every tax applied is added to the principal, that is, taxes are also collected. If we look in detail, we see that a 10 percent TRT banderol fee is charged over the tax-free price. Then, a 1% share of the Ministry of Culture is taken. Then there is the SCT at the rate of 50 percent of the total. On top of that, 18 percent VAT is added.
