IPVA is a mandatory state tax for motor vehicle owners. The calendar is defined annually by the state government.
The Government of the State of São Paulo released this Monday (9) the payment schedule for the Motor Vehicle Property Tax (IPVA) for 2027.
In January, taxpayers will be able to pay the tax in a single installment, with a 3% discount, or choose to pay in up to five installments, depending on the amount of the debt.
The due dates for the first installment begin on January 11th, for vehicles with a license plate ending in 1, and continue until the 22nd, for those with an ending number 0. In the following months, the due date is repeated according to the final digit of the license plate.
If the date coincides with a holiday or weekend without banking hours in the municipality where the vehicle is registered, the deadline is automatically extended to the first subsequent business day.

Rules for installments
The installment payment does not entitle you to a discount and varies between three and five monthly installments, calculated according to the total due in tax units in the state of São Paulo (UFESPs):
In five installments: for debts from 10 UFESPs;
In four installments: for debts between 8 and 9.99 UFESPs;
In three installments: for debts between 6 and 7.99 UFESPs.
To validate the option, the taxpayer must pay the first installment within the deadline and in the exact amount. Delay or partial payment of the following monthly installments will result in immediate cancellation of the installment plan.
With the breach of the agreement, interest and a late payment fine will be charged on the remaining outstanding balance, except in cases where provision is made in decree for the anticipation of vehicle licensing.
IPVA exemption
Since 2025, passenger vehicles, trucks and mixed-use utility vehicles manufactured 20 years or more have a national tax exemption.
In the state of São Paulo, hybrid and hydrogen-powered models worth up to R$250,000 are also entitled to the tax benefit.
Furthermore, the exemption can be requested by people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and people with moderate, severe or very severe physical, sensory, intellectual or mental disabilities.
