Disabled driver does not need to pay IPVA until July 31 in SP

The payment of the 2022 IPVA (Automotive Vehicle Property Tax) is suspended for drivers who are considered PcDs (persons with disabilities) in the state of São Paulo until July 31. The rule applies to those who already had tax exemption in 2020 or 2021.

According to the Secretary of State for Finance and Planning, the folder’s systems were updated, on February 21, with the information that those who already had the tax exemption in previous years are not obliged to pay the IPVA until July. “The consultation can now be carried out in the banking network or in the Sefaz-SP portal”, informs a note from the body.

To guarantee the free tax until the end of the year, the driver with a disability will have to schedule the request for a report at the Secretary of Justice and Citizenship, which will be issued by Imesc (Institute of Social Medicine and Criminology of São Paulo).

When you have the report proving the disability, the citizen must access the Sivei (Vehicle System) website to file the request for total exemption in 2022. In the request, it will be necessary to attach the required documents, in addition to the report. Access to the site is done with CPF and password of the Nota Fiscal Paulista.

However, the Sivei website is offline for this type of request. When trying to access the system, the driver receives the information that there is an error and cannot make the request. The Farm has no forecast of how much it will release the system. According to the folder, Sivei will reopen for new orders as soon as Imesc’s scheduling and control system is ready.

Imesc, on the other hand, informs that the development of the system that will serve PCD vehicle owners is in progress and “must meet the deadline of July 31”. The agency is, however, considering using the 2020 and 2021 database to grant the automatic exemption throughout 2022. “This proposal is being discussed by the working group and the decision taken will be disclosed in due course”, says a note.

Those who apply by July 31 will not be granted the exemption immediately. The request will undergo an analysis and, if the deficiency is proven, it will be free of charge. Otherwise, the driver will have to pay the IPVA within one month, until the end of August. “In case of rejection, the tax will be released, but the owner will still have 30 days for payment, without penalty or interest”, informs the secretary.

VAT paid will be refunded

Anyone who has already paid the IPVA 2022 in cash or has paid off any installment will have the amounts returned, if the right to exemption is proven. To do this, just go to a branch of Banco do Brasil and request the money back.

Finance data show that, in 2022, there are 80,800 exemptions for people with active disabilities. Approximately 255 thousand vehicles that had the exemption recognized in 2020 or 2021 by public civil action had the IPVA 2022 suspended, according to decree 66.470/22 and SFP resolution 05/22.

The secretariat estimates a tax waiver of BRL 705.9 million with the exemptions granted to these drivers in 2022. In 2021, the waiver was BRL 729.8 million, while in 2020, it was BRL 707.9 million.

Driver must separate documents

While the website is not released for IPVA 2022 exemption requests, drivers can separate the documents to make the request as soon as the system is ready. Among the basic documents required for the exemption request are: CPF and RG of the person with autism spectrum disorder or with a disability, of their guardian or curator, if any, and of the drivers authorized by the beneficiary for the vehicle.

The Imesc expert report will be another required document. It will also be necessary to send the invoice relating to the purchase of the vehicle, in the case of a new car, the leasing agreement, for those who purchased in this modality, the financing agreement, for a financed vehicle, where there is a fiduciary alienation clause in guarantee, in addition to of CRV (Vehicle Registration Certificate), CRLV (Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate) and Renavan form (National Vehicle Registration) with vehicle license plate label, if CRV and CRLV have not yet been issued.
