With the Presidential Decree, the decision regulating tax-free sales of phones and computers to university students came into force, and many young people chose to buy a device to benefit from this advantage. Sıtkı Yılmaz, President of the Federation of Consumer AssociationsA statement was made regarding the bag details for these purchases.

Mehmet Ergun Ö., 21 years old, living in Bursa university student He wanted to take advantage of this arrangement to buy a phone for his grandson. As for Mehmet Ergun Ö.’s grandson who applied for a tax refund, “Since your invoice contains products other than the technological device subject to the application, Your application has been rejected.” was answered with the message. The non-technological product mentioned here is 21 cents from the bag nothing else. Thereupon, Mehet Ergun O. applied to the consumer association.

Don’t lose your tax refund because of 21 cents

Stating that there were many complaints about this issue Sıtkı Yılmaz, “There have been applications to our association in this direction. A consumer who applied to us today bought a mobile phone for his grandson. But even though the mobile phone was small, they presented it in a bag. Since 21 kurus was written on the invoice, a message was sent to the consumer stating that this payment would not be made. Now, the consumer parent rightfully applied: ‘How can I solve this situation?’ The truth of this is that we call on the authorities who made this payment and ask for a solution to this problem so that our students do not suffer because of this 21 kuruş bag. There, 9 thousand odd on a bill A refund of 4 thousand 500 lira aforementioned. But not doing this because of 21 cents will only victimize the consumer students. We invite the authorities to find a solution to this issue in order to prevent this victimization.” he said.

Yılmaz, in such complaints There is no sanction power He directs citizens to CİMER to seek their rights. He also states that not buying a plastic bag when purchasing a device prevents this problem.

In another case, no tax refund was given due to 1 cent screen protection insurance!

In another incident reported on social media, only 1 penny We see that the value of screen protection insurance prevents the tax refund.

It seems that citizens who dream of tax-free phones and computers are only for device They need to issue an invoice. For now, it is unclear how the grievances will be resolved. Unknown.
