How will the new taxation system affect game prices?

We are taking a lot of questions about the new taxation system for products brought in from abroad , which came into force at the beginning of last week. Although mostly games are now purchased digitally, we gamers can get not only games, but also many different products such as gaming devices, accessories and figures. However, we resort to this system to bring a product that is not available in our country for a long time. Sometimes because of the price advantage.

I can almost hear you asking, “What was the need for such an arrangement?” The primary reason for this is that shopping sites that grew uncontrollably, especially during the pandemic, completely blocked other entrepreneurs who would be new to the sector. It’s also another aspect of the business that opens stores there, and people bring the product to the country with just a small tax and sell it.

What will the new taxation be like at the games?

Before May 1st, the tax on products we bought from shopping sites abroad was increased from 20% to 30%. The price limit was also reduced from 1500 euros to 150 euros. As a result, some players are now blocked from entering game consoles brought in from abroad because the price is more affordable. As far as we can follow, it seems that users who buy more game figures and accessories are also tied up at this point.

We must state here immediately that you can still place orders over 150 euros. However, depending on the class he enters, additional taxes such as Special Excise Duty and VAT may come. We’re usually in this group.

For this, the customer who had previously received a product of 100 euros could pay 20% customs duty if the product came from outside Avurpa and 18% if it came from Europe and have the product during cargo delivery. This figure allowed the product purchased with the victim tax to reach you for a price of 120 euros.

With the new application, customs duty for those from the European Union is protected at 18%. But what everyone is really curious about is people from countries like China. These now fall into the 30% tax bracket. With the new application, the product you buy for 200 Euros will be provided for a price of 320-330 euros after adding Additional Customs, Special Consumption and Value Added Taxes. This price will be paid at the door during delivery, as before.

Of course, there’s another leg to this. Spotçu also means that companies that buy and sell affordable electronic products from abroad cannot bring products.

Important information: I have to make it clear that I don’t know much about taxation and the economy. I edited this information through the information I obtained based on the sources I found. In many of them, calculations and narratives were carried out in this way. I just tried to show how it could affect us by looking through the eyes of a gamer. I don’t think it’s misinformation. However, if there are any missing points, you can be informed in the comments and have us enrich our content.
