ANKARA - Turkey cut taxes on imported whisky and other alcoholic drinks, harmonizing the regulations with those of the European Union, which it is in talks to join.
The changes, published in Ankara yesterday in the government’s Official Gazette, will cut the price of whisky and bring an increase of less than 1 Turkish Lira ($0.60) to bottles of rakı, the national alcoholic drink. The new rates will reduce the tax on a liter of whisky by about 10 liras, Dünya newspaper said, without saying how it made the calculation.
