the exemption from vehicle excise duty (IUC) that was so far given to the disabled with a degree of disability greater than 60% was cut value exceeding EUR 200.
the change in the law came into effect earlier this month, implying that everyone who has a car with over 200 euros tax are required to pay the “seal”.
to this adds another change that in some cases will bring a worsening of the IUC. It is that to continue to have tax exemption, it is necessary that the car has a level of CO2 emissions to 180g / km. In the previous essay, which lasted until the end of July, do not put any limitations in emissions. This ceiling was created only for vehicles of category B (cars).
Ana or Mary’s mother as he prefers to call it, every year asks the Tax Authority and Customs exemption “stamp” car when it comes time to pay the IUC, since this benefit is not automatically assigned. The registration of your car said that the tax is paid in August and was surprised to realize that this time would not be entitled to this tax benefit – and that is ascribed to the fact that the child has a permanent disability of 97%. In view of the new rules, your tax office asked for full payment, because the IUC exceeds EUR 200. But yesterday, Ana was informed that after all would only have to pay the amount exceeding EUR 200, so the remaining you will now be returned by check.
In response to JN, official source of the Ministry of Finance explained that when the tax exceeds EUR 200, the exemption is partial, with the IUC be paid for excess.
Ana denounced this situation on his blog (amaedemaria) and the limitation of the tax benefit is already to do get complaints associations. This even confirmed to JN the Portuguese Association for the Disabled (APD), which points out that just a car having a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,750 cubic centimeters (cc) to be worsening in IUC.
Questioning this limitation of benefit, ODA notes that most of the low-end cars or average “does not have the essential requirements” that allow driving by a person with disabilities, “particularly in terms of the automatic transmission, or space for placing wheelchairs “.
in his blog, Ana has also been receiving complaints from other people who are being caught by surprise with the same problem, since the change came into force in a month when most people it is on vacation and comes in a dense legislation (Decree-Law No. 41/2016), which also carries out the change in some of the plots that are part of the home value calculation formula for the purpose of property tax (IMI). Entered into force on 2 August, this cut in IUC exemption picked people with cars registered from August onwards.
