Regular Member TheDarkHour Posted October 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 Is there a tax rate applied to hair transplants in Turkey? Couldn't seem to fin anything online. I assume there is since in Belgium it's 18% and India has a similar figure. Also, does anyone know if Dr. Pekiner does temple restoration? Most his transplants I've seen online have left the temples untouched. Only found one example here where he did minor temple restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member WhiteyUK Posted October 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 There is no tax added in Turkey although there’s 10% added if you pay by card by the government I believe. pay with cash if you can 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted October 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 temple restoration are doable by Dr Pekkiner cause he does stick and place. the problem is with a limited supply do you want to use up 10-20% of your grafts on temples or rather have a dense hair on top. For most people sacrificing temples for density on top will have a better cosmetic impact. For a select few it can make sense to restor temples 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted October 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2022 As earlier poster said, their is no VAT charge on HT's in Turkey. Turkish government actually exempted HT's from VAT since they recognize the amount of foreign dollars it brings to the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a select few it can make sense to restor temples I think I could use a hundred grafts for each temple since mine's haven't receded too much. Do you think Pekiner would be willing to use body hair for temples during the same operation? Here are some pictures of my temples: Edited October 11, 2022 by TheDarkHour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was charged tax when booking my procedure so unsure what you mean. The tax was very high too. Edited October 11, 2022 by Alphaone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
