The amount to be paid can vary between 1% and 6% per state. Aside from that tax, there's a lot to worry about. So, be aware of what is reserved by law so you don't get lost in the accounts!
The advantage, for some, is in the profession. Certain professionals are completely exempt from paying IPVA. So if you fit into one of these categories, know that you won't have to pay the tax. In general, what guarantees the exemption is the profession, illness or some type of injury.
If the tax is not paid, the owner of the vehicle may receive fines or any other consequences related to the Driver's License
(driver's license). If the IPVA payment is not up-to-date, the owner may still be included as a defaulter by Serasa or SPC, denying his name to financial institutions.Professions that guarantee exemption from IPVA
Professionals who use the vehicle to work, such as taxi drivers and drivers, benefit from the exemption. If you carry out any of these activities, be aware of your rights. Check out:
- Owners of agricultural machinery;
- Owners of construction machinery;
- Taxi drivers;
- Motorcycle taxi drivers;
- Transport of persons with diplomatic rights;
- Owners of buses and school transport vans.
Other reasons that grant exemption from the payment of IPVA are:
- Year of manufacture of the vehicle;
- Disability or illness of people who have suffered from stroke, cancer, autism, amputation and lymphoma.
