Thanks to the initiative of the Public Audit Institution (PAI), a retired teacher who owns a property but resides as a tenant in another house has been exempt from property tax. The PAI ensured that a retired homeowner residing as a tenant in another property due to the lack of additional income was exempt from property tax. According to the decision of the PAI; a retired teacher who owns a property registered under their name but resides as a tenant in another house, stated that they have no income other than their retirement pension and requested exemption from property tax from the municipality. The retiree, whose request was denied and received a tax payment order in July 2024, mentioned that they could not move from the rental property where they have been living for many years due to habits, and requested the exemption process from property tax to be carried out considering their economic situation, prompting them to apply to the PAI. After evaluating the application, the PAI held a meeting with the relevant municipality to meet the applicant’s request. The municipality, responding positively to the request, informed the PAI that the process for the applicant’s exemption from property tax had been initiated.
