So CLICK HERE and see what the master of video classes, Ronaldo Cardoso, says. 1. The vehicle cannot be seized The allegation that the vehicle can no longer be seized due to non-payment of IPVA is something that recurs in inspection approaches. Regarding the “seizure”, it was actually removed from the CTB in 2016, but the REMOVAL was not – which ultimately ends with the same result: the vehicle is towed and taken to the yard. CTB, Art. 271. The vehicle will be removed , in the cases provided for in this Code, to the deposit established by the competent body or entity, with circumscription on the road. Another myth is about the inspection of IPVA (motor vehicle ownership tax). Because what is inspected is the Annual Vehicle Licensing (CRLV). CTB, Art.



Driving the vehicle : V – that is not registered and duly licensed ; Infraction – very serious; Penalty – fine and seizure of the vehicle; Administrative measure – removal of the vehicle; So much so that, for the inspection agent, proof of IPVA payment is irrelevant . The internet is full of videos of angry drivers (mistakenly) showing proof of IPVA payment to the police officer and yet the vehicle being taken away by the tow truck.

It is unconstitutional to link IPVA to CRLV A thesis that had been discussed for many years, with the Brazilian Judiciary, is that “you cannot take an asset from a citizen, as a form of coercion to pay a tax” – which would be more or less what happens when you don't pay the IPVA and your vehicle is taken from you. However, this was pacified by the STF (Supreme Federal Court), according to ADI 2998/20, whose decision of this Supreme Court was in the sense of the LEGALITY of what the Traffic Code provides, since in the CTB what leads to the suppression of the asset ( vehicle) is the lack of licensing and not payment of tax. The problem is that the vehicle is only considered licensed to circulate if the IPVA (among other obligations) is paid.







But the STF understands that YES, the Brazilian Traffic Code is correct when you tow your vehicle to the yard, due to non-compliance with obligations linked to licensing. [Continues after ad] 3. IPVA, DPVAT Insurance, Licensing Fee For the vehicle to be considered LICENSED to drive on public roads, the following obligations must be up to date: Payment of IPVA corresponding to the current and previous years; Payment of DPVAT Insurance – which may come with a zero value, as has been happening, but continues to exist; Payment of all fines that are due ; Payment of the State CRLV Issuance Fee (highly contested, since Detran no longer issues this document, with the owner being responsible for its issuance); Have Recall calls (there cannot be more than a year of unanswered Recall) – which is when the vehicle manufacturer calls on owners to go to the dealership for replacement or correction of a serial defect. Failure to meet any of the elements listed above will prevent the vehicle from being registered as licensed and, therefore, will be subject to a very serious fine (R$ 293.47), registration of 7 points on the driver's driver's license and removal to the yard.
