One of the points of interest as we enter the year 2023 was taxes. Along with the statement made in the Official Gazette, the special communication tax that will appear in 2023 has also been determined. We are faced with a large increase in the newly determined special communication tax.
More than 100 percent increase in Special Communication Tax
According to the statement made in the Official Gazette, the Special Communication Tax was increased in the revaluation rate. The amount paid for the Special Communications Tax, which was increased by 122.93 percent, thus increased from 117 lira to 260 lira.
The new tax amount, which will be published in the Official Gazette and will come into effect in 2023, will add new amounts to our telephone and internet bills. Thus, we will pay the special communication tax collected by dividing it over 12 months as 21.67 TL instead of 9.75 TL on each invoice. This means that an extra 11.92 TL will be added to the invoices for each month.
