Vehicle owners in Turkey have until the end of July to pay the second installment of their 2026 Motor Vehicle Tax (MTV). The MTV is levied twice annually, with payments typically made in January and July.
For those looking to settle their MTV obligations, several convenient payment methods are available. The Revenue Administration's (GฤฐB) official digital platforms offer a streamlined process. Through the GฤฐB Internet Tax Office website (digital.gib.gov.tr), users can access the "MTV Payment" section to check their outstanding tax debt and complete transactions.
Individuals seeking a quicker, password-free option can utilize the GฤฐB portal by entering their license plate number, T.C. identification number, and vehicle registration date. Alternatively, payments can be made through the e-Devlet (e-Government) portal. After entering T.C. or tax identification numbers and license plate details, users can verify their debt and proceed with payment after a security check.
Beyond online options, payments are also accepted through various traditional channels. Many contracted banks facilitate MTV payments via their mobile applications and internet banking services, typically found under a "Payments > Tax Payments > MTV" menu. Additionally, payments can be made in person at tax offices or PTT (Turkish Post) branches across the country.
