  • Installments in up to 10 installments;
  • Single quota (in cash) with a 7% discount.

IPVA PE values

To find out how much the IPVA costs, it is necessary to perform a calculation, based on the market value of the vehicle (market value), which takes into account the numbers in the Fipe table – Foundation Institute for Economic Research. In this way, it is enough to multiply this value by the percentage established in the rates, which in Pernambuco vary from 1% to 2.4%.

According to the government of Pernambuco, for the third consecutive year the state maintains the values of the fees. These rates are:

  • 1% for buses, trucks and tractors and motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles, quadricycles, scooters or similar with less than 50 cm³ of cylinder capacity;
  • 1.5% for motor vehicles powered by Vehicular Natural Gas – CNG, whose value of the respective calculation basis is equal to or less than R$ 100 thousand
  • 2% for motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles, quadricycles, scooters or similar with 50 cm³ of cylinder capacity or more;
  • 2.4% for other vehicles.

But, don’t worry about doing the math, as the government has already released the table with the calculation basis and the value of the IPVA of vehicles circulating in the state.
