Those who prefer not to compromise the entire budget at once can pay the IPVA 2026 in up to 3 installments, without losing access to the official system and the same tax calculation rules.
The IPVA 2026 calendar in RJ is defined according to the vehicle’s license plate ending. The due date for the full payment or the first installment for vehicles with plate ending 0 will be January 21, and the other plates follow specific dates until early April, always with three deadlines for those who choose to parcel.
This way, taxpayers can plan ahead to fit the IPVA 2026 into their early year budget.
How to Issue the DARJ for IPVA 2026 Securely
As in 2025, the IPVA 2026 in RJ can only be paid with the DARJ issued exclusively through the official Sefaz microsite: https://ipva2026.fazenda.rj.gov.br.
The Department’s guidance is clear: type the address directly in the browser, without using search engines, precisely to avoid fake pages created by scammers with similar addresses.
On the IPVA 2026 site, taxpayers should click on “DARJ IPVA Issuance” and provide the vehicle’s Renavam number.
The DARJ for IPVA 2026 will be available for printing starting early January. Issuing the document only in this environment, checking vehicle details, and verifying the amount before paying are fundamental steps to ensure that the money is going to the state coffers, not to criminals’ accounts.
Payment Methods for IPVA 2026 and Partner Banks
After issuing the official DARJ, the IPVA 2026 can be paid in two main ways: via PIX at any financial institution or by barcode at partner banks.
In the case of PIX, the taxpayer needs to be extra careful before confirming the transaction in the bank’s application.
According to Sefaz, when paying IPVA 2026 via PIX, it is mandatory to verify the CNPJ 42.498.675/0001-52 and the name of the beneficiary “SEFAZ RJ – STATE SECRETARY OF FINANCE OF RJ”.
If any of this information is different, the payment should be canceled immediately. On the other hand, for payment by barcode, IPVA 2026 can be settled at banks such as Bradesco, Itaú, Santander, and Sicoob, always using the official DARJ issued by the government website.
Tax Rates, Tax Calculation, and Debt Inquiry
The value of IPVA 2026 in RJ is calculated based on the rates provided by law applied to the market price of the vehicle, defined by the Foundation Institute of Economic Researches (Fipe).
The rates are: 4% for flex cars, 2% for motorcycles, 1.5% for vehicles powered by CNG, and 0.5% for vehicles powered exclusively by electric energy. The combination of the taxable value and the rate generates the total tax amount to be paid in 2026.
Besides issuing the DARJ, the official IPVA 2026 website also offers debt inquiries, general information about the tax, and contact channels with the specialized Sefaz team.
This allows taxpayers to check if there are overdue IPVA payments from previous years, clarify doubts about the calculation, and track the vehicle’s situation.
Using only these official channels is the best way to maintain control of the tax debt and avoid falling into scams that promise extra discounts or immediate settlement outside the government system.
Complete Calendar of IPVA 2026 in RJ by License Plate Ending
To organize the budget, it is essential that taxpayers note the IPVA 2026 dates according to the license plate ending. Those paying in full must adhere to the first due date, and those parceling should keep track of the three due dates for each license plate ending to avoid accumulating interest and fines.
Payment calendar for IPVA 2026 in RJ:
License plate ending – 1st installment or full payment / 2nd installment / 3rd installment
0 – January 21 / February 20 / March 23
- 1 – January 22 / February 23 / March 26
- 2 – January 23 / February 24 / March 27
- 3 – January 26 / February 25 / March 30
- 4 – January 27 / February 26 / March 31
- 5 – January 28 / February 27 / April 1
- 6 – January 29 / March 2 / April 6
- 7 – January 30 / March 3 / April 7
- 8 – February 2 / March 4 / April 8
- 9 – February 3 / March 6 / April 9
With these dates, those who need to settle IPVA 2026 can decide whether it is better to pay everything upfront with a 3% discount or use the installment plan in up to three months to ease cash flow, always ensuring to issue the DARJ on the correct website and verify every detail before making the PIX or typing in the barcode.
For you, does it make more sense to take advantage of the IPVA 2026 upfront discount or use the installment plan in 3 payments to avoid tightening your early year budget?
