Amendment Proposal Aims to Lessen the Burden on Owners of Old Vehicles and Promises to Standardize the Exemption from IPVA Throughout Brazil, Sparking Debate on Social Justice in the Tax System

A new amendment proposal to the Constitution is shaking the automotive sector in Brazil. The PEC 72/23 seeks to exempt the Tax on the Ownership of Motor Vehicles (IPVA) for all passenger cars, pickup trucks, and mixed-use vehicles that are 20 years or older. The proposal aims to lighten the financial burden on owners of old cars, especially those with lower purchasing power, according to brasilperfil.

The author of the proposal, Senator Cleitinho (Republicanos-MG), emphasizes the importance of reducing the tax burden for low-income individuals. Approved by the Senate, the PEC will now be analyzed by the Chamber of Deputies. “This IPVA weighs too heavily on the families that have older cars and lack the resources to replace them,” argues the senator.

Cars Affected by the New IPVA Exemption Proposal

The proposal does not cover all vehicles, focusing on passenger cars, pickup trucks, and mixed-use vehicles, but excluding minibuses, buses, trailers, and semi-trailers. Thus, the PEC will particularly benefit private old cars, bringing an issue for owners in states like Minas Gerais and Pernambuco, where the IPVA exemption is still not common.

If approved by the Chamber of Deputies, this authorization will be a milestone, creating a uniform rule that will eliminate the variation in regulations among states. For the senator, it is an important step toward social justice.

How Does the Exemption Work for Other Vehicles?

With the recent tax reform, the application of the IPVA has been expanded to aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial vehicles. Currently, there are already exemptions for agricultural airplanes, fishing boats, and tractors, and the exemption of IPVA for old cars is seen as another differentiated taxation measure.

What Are the Next Steps for the Approval of the PEC?

The PEC 72/23 now needs to be validated and approved by the Constitutional and Justice and Citizenship Committee (CCJC) of the Chamber of Deputies and go through a special committee before being voted on in two rounds in the plenary session. If approved, it will be enacted by the President of the National Congress, coming into force.

IPVA Exemption for Old Cars: A Step Toward Fiscal Justice?

The proposal for IPVA exemption for cars that are over 20 years old promises to be a relief for many families, in addition to reviving the debate on social justice and tax balance in Brazil. If approved by the Chamber of Deputies, the measure could pave the way for new revisions in the tax system, considering the socioeconomic needs of Brazilians.
