The Decree Regarding the Establishment and Duties of the Undersecretariat of Maritime Works was amended on 16 May 2009. The amendment has introduced tax exemptions for all types of marine motor vehicles for non-commercial use. On the other hand, the Law No. 5897 imposes an annual charge depending on the size of the marine motor vehicle, ranging between TL200 and TL3,200 for both commercial and non-commercial marine motor vehicles.
