The fact that new cars have become an investment tool in our country has upset all the balances in the sector. While vehicle prices were constantly increasing, people still could not find a vehicle. In the second hand, there is an expensive period from zero. Statements from industry sources reveal that buying new cars may become almost impossible with the SCT tax regulation.
Muhammed Ali Karakaş, CEO of otomerkezi.net, which serves as a second-hand car sales platform, made evaluations about the sector. The statements made reveal that there is an expectation of SCT base regulation in the sector. However, this time, there is no situation to reduce prices. Karakaş thinks that there will be serious increases in SCT segments.
“The lowest slice in SCT will be 100 percent”
“The market has not met the expectations for the last 3 months in the sales of second-hand vehicles. On the other hand, enthusiasm continues despite the increase in prices on the new vehicle side. With the effect of record sales, it is predicted that the lowest scale in SCT will now be 100 percent and an increase of 20 points will be made in each SCT segment. There is no model that is currently below the 80 percent slice.” Karakaş says that there is a common expectation of sector shares for electric cars. According to Karakaş, stakeholders want incentives for electric cars.
According to Muhammed Ali Karakaş, a fairer approach can be taken in the SCT bases to be determined for low-segment cars and luxury cars. In this context; According to otomerkezi.net CEO, low tax bases should be applied in low segment cars. Karakaş says that in such an application, the consumer will be relieved.
When sales are at record levels, there may be no need for a SCT hike!
Although the statements made by Muhammed Ali Karakaş are frightening, there may be no need for an increase in the SCT applied for new cars. Because the government, which increased its year-end SCT revenue target by 70 percent just a few weeks ago, is very close to reaching this target according to statistics. As such, raising the SCT on new cars will only cause the market to stop. As a result, while the prices have increased significantly, the availability of credit has also decreased in recent years.
