IPVA exceeds R$ 90 billion in 2025 and opens the abyss between São Paulo and Roraima

IPVA collection in Brazil totaled R$ 90.68 billion in 2025, an increase of 1.05% over the previous year, according to the annual survey by the Brazilian Institute of Planning and Taxation (IBPT). The result maintains the tax as one of the main sources of revenue for state governments – second only to ICMS among the taxes collected by the states.

São Paulo led the ranking again, with R$ 30.4 billion, while Roraima recorded the lowest volume, about R$ 140 million. Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Rio de Janeiro complete the list of the five states that collected the most.

For the executive president of the IBPT, João Eloi Olenike, the modest advance still reveals the resilience of the automotive sector and the fiscal efficiency of the states in a challenging economic scenario.

The study also points out that the fleet in circulation reached 129.1 million vehicles in December 2025, concentrated mainly in São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina.

In the proportion of vehicles per resident, Santa Catarina leads, with 0.82, followed by Paraná (0.81) and São Paulo (0.77). Amazonas, Maranhão, Pará, Amapá and Bahia had the lowest rates. When the calculation considers the amount paid per inhabitant, the Federal District appears ahead, with an average of R$ 660.88, closely followed by São Paulo (R$ 660.82). At the other end are Maranhão, Pará and Acre.

Discounting inflation, the biggest real advances came from Bahia, Amazonas, Maranhão and Acre; Minas Gerais and São Paulo, on the other hand, grew below the price variation.

The IBPT observes that the differences in rates and bureaucracy between the states encourage companies to register their fleets where the load is lower. São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais concentrate the highest costs in the country, while Acre, Espírito Santo, Santa Catarina and Tocantins practice lower rates, around 2%.
