Understanding a little more about IPVA
Did you know that the IPVA rate varies according to the state, as it is not a federal or municipal tax? Still, only about half of that tax goes to the state where the taxpayer is resident.
The other portion of the amounts that are collected is sent to the municipalities where the respective vehicles were placed. Since this remuneration has no connection with road maintenance, the use of IPVA is only for tax purposes.
How does the VAT exemption work?
Each federative unit has the authority to determine which vehicles are subject to zero tax. Most use the age of the car, or the year of manufacture with conditions. Therefore, check below for more details on cars exempt from IPVA in each state:
- Vehicles from ten years of manufacture date: Roraima, Rio Grande do Norte and Goiás;
- Vehicles with at least fifteen years of manufacture: Tocantins, Sergipe, Rondônia, Rio de Janeiro, Piauí, Paraíba, Pará, Maranhão, Espírito Santo, Federal District, Ceará, Bahia, Amazonas and Amapá;
- Vehicles from eighteen years of manufacture: only Mato Grosso;
- Vehicles from twenty years of manufacture: São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Mato Grosso do Sul, Alagoas and Acre.
Another way to get exemption on your IPVA
In addition, it is worth mentioning that people with disabilities are also entitled to tax exemption. However, to receive this benefit, it is necessary to have the National Certificate of Special Skill, as well as a medical certificate that proves this condition.
Therefore, it is necessary to gather all the required documents if you want to apply for the IPVA exemption. Furthermore, there is another example of a discount for this tax, which applies when payment obligations are waived to benefit people undergoing cancer treatment.
