2024 Expense Advance Tariff for Civil Proceedings Published

The Turkish Code of Civil Procedure Expense Advance Tariff (“Tariff”), that entered into force after being published in the Official Gazette dated 23.10.2024 numbered 32701, introduced amendments to the amount of the expense advances to be paid by the plaintiff in civil proceedings.

According to the previous tariff, which was valid from 24.10.2023 until 22.10.2024, the plaintiff was required to pay a notice fee that would allow five notices to be made to each party and 250 Turkish lira for other procedural transactions as expense advance when filing a lawsuit.

Pursuant to article 4 of the new Tariff, the plaintiff shall still pay a notice fee that would allow five notices to be made to each party but 400 TL for other procedural transactions as expense advance.

The Tariff raised the expense advance amount by 60% when compared to the tariff of 2023.
