The Approach of 2026 Brings Important Changes for Motorcyclists Because Several States Decided to Apply IPVA Exemption on Small Motorcycles, But Each Government Defines Its Own Rules and the Measure Does Not Automatically Apply to the Whole Country

With the approach of January, many motorcyclists begin to assess the mandatory expenses with taxes. However, 2026 arrives with a different perspective because several states decided to ease the burden on those who use small motorcycles daily. The IPVA exemption, however, does not automatically apply to the whole country.

Exemption for Small Engine Motorcycles: Origin of the Measure

The rule originated from Resolution PRS 3/2019, approved by the Senate. It allowed states to eliminate the IPVA for motorcycles up to 170 cm³.

The authorization does not impose mandatory adherence, so each government chooses how to implement the change. Additionally, the aim is social, as most owners belong to classes C, D, and E.

State Criteria

Each government created its own rules. This explains why some expanded the engine capacity range while others require income or proper behavior in traffic.

Different states have adopted different paths, following their own profiles and regional needs.

Paraíba

The state was a pioneer and adopted the measure in 2023. Rule: total exemption for motorcycles up to 170 cm³. Impact: approximately 320,000 owners were relieved from the charge.

Paraná

The benefit remains active and has the largest reach in the country. Rule: exemption for motorcycles up to 170 cm³.
Impact: more than 732,000 motorcyclists no longer pay the tax.

Santa Catarina

Residents of Santa Catarina expanded the limit and created conditions. Rule: exemption for motorcycles up to 200 cm³.
Condition: the driver must not have any fines in the previous year. It is a reward that values good behavior in traffic.

Sergipe

The state adopted a social criterion. Rule: motorcycles between 50 and 165 cm³. Condition: proof of income up to two minimum wages.

Exemption for Motorcycles: What Is Ahead

The expectation is for the measure to expand in 2026. Governors may adopt the exemption as mobility policy.

Even so, if the state has not approved specific legislation, the charge remains active. This applies even to smaller motorcycles, such as the popular 50cc models.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Elderly individuals may obtain essential documents without paying fees: a project that includes CIN, CNH, CPF, and work card advances in the Chamber, eliminates issuance and renewal charges, and leaves Brazilians waiting for decisive steps to see if the benefit will actually be implemented.

Cutting-edge engineering transforms an abandoned 88-meter-deep quarry into a luxury ‘earthscraper’ in China with submerged floors and geothermal energy.

Every 30 minutes, a flying car departs: a giant 120,000 m² factory in China has already started producing a six-wheeled vehicle with an electric aircraft at the rear.
