Why is the touring deposit collected?
Turkey's fiscal system has various taxes in place under different names such as VAT (18%), SCT (90 – 140%) and Customs Tax (10%). Considering that the cars in question are allowed entrance to the country without paying the related taxes; deposit fees are taken as an insurance deposit fee to cover the damages against possibilities of the usage of these cars outside of their original purposes, being rented to another person, being loaned, being transferred to another person, being sold, being used by unlawful owners, exchange or sale without due permission of the car parts that entered with the car and registered on car documents.
