Among other changes, vehicles over 20 years old no longer pay the tax, but the Licensing Fee remains mandatory
The payment of the IPVA 2026 in Minas Gerais was scheduled to start on February 3rd. The maturity schedule of the first installment — or the single quota — follows in a staggered manner throughout the first week of the month, ending on the 7th for plates ending in 9 and 0.
For taxpayers looking to lighten the burden of tax in their pockets, the state offers a system of cumulative discounts. The payment in cash (single quota) guarantees an automatic reduction of 3%. Additionally, the “Good Payer” program grants an additional 3% discount for those who maintained the vehicle’s tax regularity in the years 2024 and 2025. Added together, the benefits can reduce the total amount by 6%.

A relevant change in the taxation rules for 2026, driven by Constitutional Amendment No. 137, is the automatic exemption from IPVA for vehicles with 20 years or more of manufacture (manufactured until 2006). The measure covers passenger cars, motorcycles and pickup trucks.
However, the State Department of Finance warns: the exemption from property tax does not eliminate the obligation of the Annual Vehicle Licensing Renewal Fee (TRLAV). It is also worth mentioning that cargo vehicles, buses and minibuses do not fall under the age exemption rule and follow conventional taxation.
The tax amount is calculated based on the vehicle’s market value (Fipe Table) multiplied by the state rate. In Minas Gerais, the rates vary from 1% to 4%. According to SEF-MG, the following rates are applied to the calculation basis:
The taxpayer can choose to pay in a single quota (with a discount) or in installments in three installments. The expiration dates are defined by the end of the vehicle’s license plate. Check out the official schedule:
| End of the Plate | 1st part/single | 2nd installment | 3rd installment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 and 2 | February | March | April 7 |
| 3 and 4 | February | March | April 8 |
| 5 and 6 | February | 10 March | April 9 |
| 7 and 8 | February | 11 March | April 10 |
| 9 and 0 | February | 12 March | April 11 |
To avoid fraud, the government recommends that the issuance of the guide or QR Code for payment via Pix be made exclusively through the official website of the Department of Finance or through the MG App. Payment can also be made at the counters and self-service terminals of accredited banks (Bradesco, Santander, Itaú, Mercantil do Brasil, Caixa Econômica Federal, Sicoob and Banco do Brasil) and lottery houses.
The delay generates immediate financial consequences: a daily fine of 0.3% (limited to 20%) plus interest based on the Selic rate. After 30 days of default, the fine is set at 20% of the amount due.
