Buzz Cargo, the Fiat E-Doblo, the Opel Combo Electric and the Nissan Townstar EV. Peugeot, Citroën, Renault and Toyota currently have no electric commercial vehicles on their Türkiye lists.

VAT deduction: commercial or passenger?
Under KDV Law No. 3065, businesses can deduct the KDV on purchases related to their activities; panel vans and light trucks fall within this scope. However, the purchase KDV on passenger cars owned by businesses cannot be deducted, except by those whose activity is renting out or operating passenger cars. That is why there is a big difference, in terms of both ÖTV and KDV, between a combi registered as a passenger car (for example the Opel Combo Electric or the Fiat E-Doblo Panorama) and a panel van with commercial registration. Consult your accountant about your own situation.
