Özet:

Just 21 years after the French occupation of Hatay after the Mondros Cessation Treaty, the extraordinary diplomatic efforts of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk resulted in the return to the homeland border on July 11, 1939. The joy of this evolution, which has passed months before the Second World War, which began on 1 September 1939, has remained half-time with the beginning of the war. The war has affected the whole world and has affected Turkey both military and economicly. Although Turkey has not entered the war, a million and a half of the young people have been armed. The increase in national defence costs, the youth population in the army has created a budget gap, money print has increased, production has dropped, prices and inflation have risen. These developments have affected the people economically. From the Ottoman State, the Muslim population inherited to the Republic is usually engaged in agriculture, and the non-Muslims have dominated the commercial market. The economic trouble during the war made the majority of the people poor, while a number of traders emphasized that they were overwhelmingly rich. In this period, the winners of import business, especially those in the hands of Muslims, were the merchants. As profits are obtained by illegal means such as carburation, stockage and emphasis, they are also deceived from taxes. That is why the state treasury has not provided the necessary income, it is weak and desperate in public affairs. In 1942, the asset tax was imposed once again in order to get out of this economic chaos. This tax is also applied in Hatay, which is a province in the mouth of the flower. This tax was used as a means of black propaganda against the state at home and outside during and after its practice. The property tax practices in Hatay, which are a state that cannot be reduced in terms of non-Muslim population, are very important when assessed in this regard. But so far there has not been any work on this. In this study, the names of taxpayers, including Hatay's districts, were presented using the local newspaper Yenigün in terms of lists of tax amounts. Our work will contribute to the understanding of the contents of these practices by opening a different door to the Property Tax Practices.
