Law 9.517/2024, recently approved by the Legislative Assembly of Sergipe, offers a partial exemption from IPVA (Property Tax on Motor Vehicles) from 2025.

This measure represents more than a simple tax exemption; is a social inclusion initiative which aims to ensure greater equality and accessibility for people with disabilities in the state of Sergipe. Not only does it directly benefit citizens by easing the burden of IPVA, but it also promises significant savings for public coffers. This savings can be redirected to other essential areas, such as health and education.
Now, you may be asking yourself, “But what happens if I don’t pay the IPVA? " Here's what you need to know: Failure to pay the tax can result in various penalties, including the loss of points on the CNH (National Driving License), fines, and even the removal of the vehicle. Therefore, keep tax payments up to date It is crucial to avoid headaches in the future.

But this exemption is not just a matter of economics. It's a question of social justice, providing thousands of Brazilians with disabilities the chance of a more dignified and accessible life.
Will other regions of Brazil follow Sergipe's example and adopt similar measures? This is an issue that we should all follow closely, as it could signal an important change in the way our country deals with inclusion and accessibility.
