Article 17 of the Misdemeanor Law No. 5326: If the administrative fine is paid within 1 month from the notification, 25% discount is applied.
Discount Conditions
- Must be paid within 1 month from the notification
- There must be no objection
- The amount must be paid in full (discount for partial payment none)
Payment Channels
- e-Government (gib.gov.tr)
- Interactive tax office
- Bank branches / internet banking
- PTT
Installment Opportunity
- Bank credit card installment opportunity for fines over 2,000 TL
- Tax office installments (in special cases)
Objection vs. Discount Dilemma
If objected and won, the penalty is completely canceled — more advantageous. However, if there is a risk, it makes sense to benefit from the discount.
Practical Tips
- Verify the notification date (beginning of the objection/discount period)
- Searching for a penalty in e-Government: Revenue Administration → Traffic Fines
- The penalty not paid on time goes to enforcement, an additional 5% late fee
