The deadline for paying the Single Circulation Tax (IUC) remains unchanged this year, but remains one of the details that generate the most errors among drivers. The (AT) once again reminded us that the IUC must be paid within a specific period, which depends directly on the vehicle’s license plate, a criterion that many end up forgetting.
According to the AT, the tax must be paid by the last day of the month of registration, which is the deadline to avoid fines or penalties.
The rule is simple, but it continues to raise doubts. According to the same source, each vehicle has its own deadline for paying the IUC, defined by the month in which it was registered, which means that there is no single date for everyone, forcing drivers to pay attention to the individual calendar.
How to pay through the Finance Portal
Payment can be made online, via the Finance Portal. As AT explains, simply enter your CPF and password, access the citizens area and select the services related to the IUC. Then, it is possible to issue the bank slip and complete the process.
Be careful, as failure to meet the deadline may have consequences. According to the same source, late payment can lead to fines and other additional charges, even when it comes to forgetfulness. This is one of the reasons that lead to a high number of lawsuits every year.
There are changes coming at IUC
Although the current model remains, there are already changes approved for the coming years. According to the publication, the Government intends to change the payment system, replacing the current model with a fixed calendar, and the objective is to simplify the process and reduce the risk of non-compliance.
With the new rules, payment will no longer depend on the month of registration and will be defined by the tax amount. According to the diploma, up to 100 euros in IUC will be paid in a single installment until the end of April. If the amount exceeds R$100 and up to R$500, it will be divided into two installments, in April and October. For amounts above R$500, payment will be made in three stages: April, July and October.
Transition year with its own rules
Before the new system comes into force, there will be a transition period in 2027. According to the Federal Revenue, if the tax is up to R$500, it will be paid in a single installment in October. In cases where the amount is higher, payment will be made in two installments, in July and October, with the possibility of full payment in July.
