Selin Ciğerci, a well-known Turkish actress and social media personality, recently made headlines when she was caught on camera making a controversial statement about her income and taxes. In a video that went viral on social media platforms, Ciğerci is heard saying, “When I see the news that tax inspectors are on duty, I sometimes get scared. But then I remember that I have earned 500,000 Turkish Lira before, and I feel safer.”
Ciğerci’s statement has attracted criticism from a wide range of people, including taxpayers, politicians, and social media users. Many have accused her of promoting tax evasion, which is a criminal offense under Turkish law.
For those who may not be familiar with the Turkish taxation system, let us brief it up a little. Turkey has a progressive tax system, which means that higher earners pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than lower earners. To be precise, the tax rate on earnings above 500,000 Turkish Lira (about $60,000) is 35%. This means that if Ciğerci did indeed earn 500,000 Lira in a year, she would have had to pay 175,000 Lira (about $20,000) in taxes.
While Ciğerci’s comment may have been intended to be a casual remark, her words have serious implications. By suggesting that she sometimes evades taxes, she is sending a message to her fans and followers that it’s okay to cheat on your taxes if you earn a lot of money. This is an extremely damaging message for a public figure to project, as it erodes public trust in the taxation system and undermines the government’s efforts to collect revenue.
Moreover, tax evasion deprives the government of much-needed funds that are essential for providing public services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure development. In Turkey, where the government is grappling with a range of economic challenges, tax evasion is a particularly serious problem. By encouraging people to evade taxes, Ciğerci is contributing to this problem instead of helping to solve it.
In light of these concerns, it’s important to address Ciğerci’s statement and emphasize the importance of paying taxes. For those who earn a high income, paying taxes is a duty and a responsibility, not an optional expense. It’s a way of contributing to the collective good of society and ensuring that everyone has access to the services and resources they need to thrive.
In conclusion, Selin Ciğerci’s comments about tax evasion were irresponsible and damaging. We need to encourage a culture of responsibility and accountability when it comes to paying taxes, and public figures like Ciğerci have a special responsibility to set a positive example. Instead of promoting tax evasion, we should emphasize the importance of paying taxes as a way of contributing to the wellbeing of society as a whole.
