Earthquake tax (Turkey)

The so-called Earthquake tax (also known as special communications tax) was introduced in the aftermath of the earthquake in Izmit in 1999 during which over 17,000 people died. Initially introduced as a temporary tax, it became a permanent tax aimed at the prevention of earthquake-related damage.
