Retiree SCT Exemption: Status of the Turkish Bill
Checked on 16 October 2026: Turkish Parliament bill 2/3546 remains in committee. The bill does not itself create an SCT exemption that can be claimed today simply because someone is retired.

Who is covered by the proposal?
The summary of the bill submitted on 20 February 2026 covers retired tradespeople and craftspeople, and farmers registered in the Farmer Registration System who receive an old-age pension because of their agricultural activity. This is not an entitlement for all retirees, all Bağ-Kur members or all early-retirement beneficiaries.
The summary proposes a one-time exemption within five years of retirement and a five-year restriction on transferring the vehicle. These are proposed provisions, not current application requirements.
A bill is different from an existing exemption
Submission to Parliament does not put a bill into force. Committee and plenary proceedings, the final published text and its commencement provisions must be checked together. No confirmed application date or channel is presented here.
Disability-related vehicle SCT relief is a separate legal arrangement. Its medical-report and vehicle requirements cannot be transferred to the retiree proposal. A model should not be described as eligible solely because of its price; personal eligibility requires the current Revenue Administration guidance and the relevant tax office.
Comparing vehicle options
Do not rely on an uncommenced exemption when paying a deposit or assuming a guaranteed saving. Compare the dealer’s written quotation, tax treatment at the transaction date and the period for which you need a vehicle.
Rental is a use option. Total price, mileage, deposit, insurance cover and early return depend on the quotation and contract. Renting does not eliminate all tax-change or driving-related responsibilities, and personal rental charges are not automatically deductible business expenses.
