Vehicle owners registered in the state of São Paulo can now begin checking the amount due for the 2025 Imposto sobre a Propriedade de Veículos Automotores (IPVA). The consultation can be easily done across the banking network, whether through automatic terminals, internet banking, or mobile apps by simply entering the vehicle's Renavam number. For added convenience, vehicle owners also have the option to perform this query directly on the Secretaria da Fazenda e Planejamento (Sefaz-SP) portal.
It is imperative for taxpayers to remain alert to the payment deadlines, which vary according to the final digit of the vehicle's plate. For those interested, January allows the opportunity for one-time payment with a 3% discount.
For individuals opting for installment payments, the tax can be divided over five months, starting from the same month as payment initiation. This flexibility is beneficial as many owners may prefer to budget over time rather than pay the entire amount all at once.
To facilitate 2025 IPVA payments, São Paulo residents can use the accredited banking network, which requires only the Renavam number for processing. Various streamlined methods of payment exist including the use of the Pix system, which allows for payments via QR codes generated on the Sefaz-SP website, adding convenience to the process. Payments can also be made via the internet, on self-service terminals, or at lottery locations. Another option includes the payment through credit cards as long as the service provider is authorized by Sefaz-SP.
The 2025 IPVA payment options allow owners to select from various due dates linked to their vehicle plate numbers. For immediate payment, two main options are available: the full payment occurs either in January with the benefit of the 3% discount, or later, without the discount, occurring in February. If choosing to parcel, the payments may be organized as follows:
- Three installments: January through March
- Four installments: January through April
- Five installments: January through May
Owners of trucks have differentiated deadlines, with full payment options also available in January, coupled with the discount, or through installment payments without discounts spread throughout the year based on the vehicle's plate.
Vehicle owners are reminded to remain updated on the payment deadlines to avoid penalties and to benefit from available discounts—starting from the first installment submissions—while also considering the environmentally friendly exemptions now available. For complete details, including the payment calendar and more about the IPVA, owners can visit the Sefaz-SP website.
