Tax Benefit Has a Defined Deadline, Imposes Strict Technical Requirements, and Limits the Vehicle’s Value, Making Only Specific Toyota Models Eligible for the IPVA Exemption in São Paulo

The beginning of 2026 marks another phase of the schedule for the Motor Vehicle Property Tax (IPVA) in São Paulo. However, contrary to what many drivers were expecting, only two hybrid cars will have total exemption from the state tax, according to rules already established by the State Department of Finance and Planning.

The measure is neither broad nor permanent. On the contrary, it is a temporary tax benefit, conditioned on specific technical and financial criteria, which significantly reduces the number of eligible vehicles in the Brazilian market. This information was disclosed through official ordinances from the Government of São Paulo and reported by specialized automotive media.

In practice, the SRE Ordinance 94/2024 regulates the IPVA exemption for vehicles that have a minimum electric motor power of 40 kW, equivalent to approximately 54 horsepower, and that are powered by a minimum voltage system of 150 volts.

Exemption Period and Progressive Rates After the Benefit

Despite the exemption drawing attention, it will not be definitive. The exemption period for the IPVA for these models runs from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2026. After this period, the tax will be charged gradually, according to an established schedule.

In 2027, the rate will be 1%; in 2028, it will rise to 2%; in 2029, it will reach 3%; and starting from 2030, the full rate of 4% will apply to passenger vehicles in the state of São Paulo. This gradual transition seeks to avoid an immediate financial impact on consumers adopting hybrid technology.

How IPVA 2026 Will Be and Payment Methods in São Paulo

For other vehicles, the IPVA rates in 2026 remain unchanged in São Paulo. Passenger cars continue with a rate of 4%, while motorcycles, single-cab pick-ups, microbuses, buses, and heavy machinery still pay 2%. Trucks maintain a rate of 1.5%, and rental vehicles are 1%.

The taxpayer may choose to pay in full, with a 3% discount in January, or settle the tax in February without a discount. It will also be possible to spread the amount over five installments, due between January and May. For trucks, there are specific rules, with discounts in January, a single payment in April, or installment plans extending until September.

Do you think that the limit of only two models really encourages the adoption of hybrid cars, or should the IPVA exemption policy in Brazil be broader?
