The new IPVA law promises to bring relief to many Brazilians, especially in Sergipe, with a package of changes that will make paying this tax easier. In 2025, the state will implement Law 9.517/2024, which guarantees partial exemptions for people with disabilities, marking an important step towards inclusion and accessibility.
This new tax regime, the new IPVA law, is a breakthrough that should benefit families with members who face special needs, offering a reduction in the fixed cost of vehicles. The expectation is that this new legislation will reach around 4.200 people, providing a significant social and economic impact for those benefited and the state.
How does the new IPVA law work in Sergipe?
The new IPVA law in Sergipe brings partial exemptions for people with severe physical, visual and intellectual disabilities, as well as individuals with Down syndrome and autism. This group will be able to purchase vehicles for up to R$120 and enjoy a discount on the IPVA, ensuring greater autonomy and quality of life.
To request the benefit, owners must access the State Finance Department (SEFAZ) portal and present the necessary documentation, including an updated medical report and proof of residence.

Who is entitled to partial exemption from IPVA?
The new legislation is clear regarding the eligibility criteria for this IPVA exemption. People with physical, hearing, severe or profound mental disabilities, and individuals on the autistic spectrum will be entitled to the benefit.
Legal representatives can also apply for the discount for minors under 18 with disabilities. This policy goes beyond financial relief: it promotes social justice and expands inclusion.
It is estimated that this new IPVA law will represent a saving of R$1 million for the state of Sergipe. This saving will help to optimize the management of public resources, in addition to stimulating the automotive sector, since more families will be able to consider purchasing vehicles to meet their special needs.
Documentation and application process
To obtain the benefit of the new IPVA law, it is necessary to follow some steps. The process is digital and is carried out through the SEFAZ portal, where the applicant must send documents such as a medical report and, if applicable, a special driver's license.
In addition, a mandatory fee must be paid to validate the request. The digitalization of this process seeks to reduce bureaucracy and make the benefit more accessible to families in need.
Consequences of non-payment of IPVA
It is worth remembering that failure to pay taxes can still result in consequences, such as fines, loss of points on the driver's license and even vehicle seizure. To avoid these problems, it is essential that owners are up to date with their obligations, especially those who do not meet the exemption criteria.
The amount collected from IPVA is allocated to several areas, as infrastructure and security, in addition to health and education. Each state decides how to apply these resources, but all prioritize improving public services.
