Trevor’s Tips – October 2015

Property Rental Tax
The Government are trialling a three [3] month increase in the Pro
perty Tax for renting properties here in the TRNC.
The rate will rise from 10% to 13% with immediate effect. The tax must be paid in the currency shown on the rental agreement. If the rental agreement is in Sterling, the Government wins hands down on both counts i.e. 3% increase and the exchange rate of the £ into Lira.
Vehicle Road Tax
With effect from September this year, the Government have increased the vehicle Excise duty by 6%, making it even more expensive than before. This will make some local vehicle owners avoid paying road tax altogether. Oh to be an expat and pay all taxes due!!
Burglaries
I know that I keep “thumping this particular drum“ to the point of frustration, but last month I needed to process another 3 claims for break in’s.
Can I stress to you all that we need to be extra vigilant and take all the necessary steps to protect your property by increasing home security? We are no longer 
in a crime free country and house crime is on the increase.
Dagli Sigorta is offering to their customers, a free no obligation security survey, by an independent person making recommendation on what steps could be taken to stop this low life from entering your property. If you accept any, or all of his recommendations you will be eligible for a 10% discount on work carried out. His prime objective is to make your home secure, not to make a “financial killing”.
Remember Dagli Sigorta is here to support you, but we cannot do it on our own, we need your help.
Car Rental
With immediate effect, Dagli Sigorta is offering to their customers and relatives, car rental from as little as £10.00 per day!!! This includes delivery of the vehicle
to Ercan Airport, if you so wish and you will be able to take the car over the border to drive in the South but you must pay as an extra 25 € cross border insurance.
The vehicles are 2015 Vauxhall Corsa models, 4 door and with automatic transmission.
