São Paulo Lawmakers Approve IPVA Exemption for Motorcycles Up to 180cc Starting in 2026

Overview

• The Alesp passed the executive bill in a symbolic vote under an urgency regime after the governor expanded the cutoff from 150cc to 180cc.
• The measure now awaits Governor Tarcísio de Freitas’s sanction to take effect with the 2026 IPVA calendar.
• According to the government, the exemption is framed as support for workers who rely on motorcycles as a source of income.
• Eligibility is restricted to motorcycles that are properly registered and licensed, covering an estimated 76% of the state’s motorcycle fleet.
• The bill also cancels 2021 IPVA debts for one vehicle owned by people with disabilities or autism who had an exemption request approved that year.
