The Motor Vehicle Property Tax (IPVA) is a significant annual expense for many vehicle owners in Brazil. However, recent legislative developments have brought good news for certain groups of citizens. A recently approved bill has expanded the scope of the IPVA exemption, allowing more Brazilians to benefit from this tax advantage.
The Legislative Assembly of Pará (Alepa) approved Bill No. 767/2023, which grants exemption from IPVA to citizens of Pará with Down Syndrome. Thus, this measure represents a significant advance in guaranteeing rights and supporting this group. Therefore, the exemption from IPVA is added to other existing benefits, such as the exemption from the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services (ICMS) on the acquisition of vehicles by people with Down Syndrome.

Additional benefits for people with Down syndrome
In addition to the exemption from IPVA, people with Down Syndrome are entitled to other legal benefits. One of them is Continuous Benefit Payment (BPC), which offers financial support to individuals with a per capita family income of less than a quarter of the current minimum wage. Therefore, to access this benefit, it is necessary to be registered in the Federal Government's Single Registry of Social Programs (CadÚnico).
How to apply for IPVA exemption
To request an exemption from IPVA, beneficiaries must follow the procedures established by the State Department of Transportation (Detran) in their state. Therefore, this generally includes presenting documents that prove the condition that entitles them to the exemption, such as a medical report in the case of people with Down Syndrome. It is important to check the specific requirements and deadlines for applying in each state.

Exempting people with Down syndrome and other vulnerable groups from IPVA is an important step in promoting equity and social support. These measures not only alleviate the financial burden on affected families, but also recognize the need for more inclusive public policies that are sensitive to the diverse needs of the population.
