Turkish term or phrase: Rıhtım Veraset ve Harçlar Vergi Dairesi
This is a tax office located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul. Its function is described on its own website:

"Rıhtım veraset ve harçlar vergi dairesi süreksiz yükümlülüklere bakan (Veraset ve intikal,Tapu ve İskan ve MahkemeHarçları,İdari Para cezaları, Kabahatler kanununa göre düzenlenen para cezaları , Ödenmeyen öğrenci kredi borçları v.s.) vergi dairesi olup, faaliyet bölgesi İstanbul Anadolu yakası olup aşağıdaki Tuzla Bölgesi, Pendik Bölgesi, Kartal Bölgesi, Maltepe Bölgesi, Kadıköy Bölgesi, Üsküdar Bölgesi, Ümraniye Bölgesi, Sultanbeyli Bölgesi, Beykoz Bölgesi, Adalar bölgeleri kapsamaktadır."

What I can't decide is whether to treat this as a proper noun, and use:

Rıhtım Veraset ve Harçlar Tax Offıce

in the translation, or whether to translate the components of the name, e.g.:

Wharfage, Inheritance and Dues Tax Office (I would use 'wharfage' for 'rıhtım' because I think it is clear we are talking about the charge for using the wharf).

Given that 'Büyük Mükellefler Vergi Dairesi' is generally rendered as 'Large Taxpayers Tax Office', I am inclined towards the second option above, but I am not 100% certain. I would be happy to hear other people's ideas. Thank you.

Thank you for pointing out that Rıhtım here is a place name. This is the name of a tax office and so 'Tax Office' must come at the end.

Rıhtım Inheritance Tax & Duties Office


Explanation:
"Rıhtım" is the name of the quarter in Kadıköy, Istanbul, at which this tax office was once located.
I think that "Inheritance Tax & Duties Office" would be a better expression. Just my two cents.
