Where can I find accurate and up-to-date information on exactly how & when vehicle consumption tax is paid after buying a second hand vehicle from a dealer garage in Türkiye by a foreign RP holder. I am a retired expat receiving a private pension (not a government pension) so I’m not entitled to benefit from a tax free purchase of a vehicle.
