What is IPVA?
IPVA is a state tax, i.e. it is administered by the state governments and the Federal District.
The proceeds are divided: 50% of the amount collected goes to the state and the other 50% goes to the municipality where the vehicle was registered.
This money is used to finance various public services, such as health, education and transportation.
An important feature of IPVA is that the amount to be paid varies according to the type of vehicle, its year of manufacture and the state in which it is registered. Normally, the calculation is based on the vehicle's retail value, according to a reference price table.
How does IPVA work?
All owners of vehicles on the road need to pay the IPVA. After all, failure to pay the tax can lead to a series of complications, including fines, interest and even the seizure of the vehicle.
Each state has its own payment schedule, which is usually defined by the license plate.
Some states offer discounts for payments made in cash, while others allow the amount to be paid in installments.
