Proposal Sent to Alesp Provides IPVA Exemption for Motorcycles, Mopeds, and Motor Scooters Up to 150 cc, Benefiting 2.4 Million Used Vehicles Mainly for Delivery and Service Providers in the State
The Government of São Paulo submitted a bill to the Legislative Assembly that proposes the IPVA exemption for 2.4 million motorcycles up to 150 cc, equivalent to 53% of the fleet, directly impacting the budget of workers who use the vehicle as a tool for income.
The proposal establishes that all motorcycles, mopeds, and motor scooters up to 150 cc, registered in the name of individuals, will no longer pay the annual tax, broadening the reach of the tax policy for individually used vehicles.
According to the text, the measure holds economic significance for delivery personnel, service providers, and other professionals who rely daily on motorcycles for transportation, carrying out activities, and maintaining monthly income across various regions of the state.

Scope of the Proposal and Profile of Beneficiaries
The project estimates that 2.4 million motorcycles will be directly benefited, a number representing more than half of the São Paulo fleet, indicating a concentration on low-displacement vehicles predominantly used for daily work.
According to Governor Tarcísio de Freitas, the initiative recognizes the social and economic role of motorcycles for millions of residents of São Paulo who use the vehicle as a means of sustaining their livelihoods and actively participating in the state economy.
“This initiative acknowledges the social and economic importance of the motorcycle for millions of São Paulo residents who depend on it to work and secure income,” said Tarcísio de Freitas, commenting on the scope of the proposal sent to Alesp.
Validity, Criteria, and Legal Basis
If approved by state deputies, the benefit will take effect from January 1, 2026, applicable only to vehicles that are registered and licensed in good standing with the competent authorities.
The project amends Law No. 13.296/2008, which regulates the IPVA in the state of São Paulo, adjusting the legal text to include the new tax exemption range proposed.
The proposal was structured, according to the government, with fiscal planning to ensure financial relief for the benefiting taxpayers without affecting the balance of public accounts, maintaining the budgetary sustainability of the state, despite the projected tax revenue impact.
