The Second installment payment deadline for the Imposto sobre a Propriedade de Veículos Automotores (IPVA) 2026 is due this coming Friday, the 13th, for vehicle owners who chose to pay in installments in the state of Ceará, Brazil. Vehicle owners can easily access their payment slips by visiting the website of the State Secretary of Finance (Sefaz-CE), using the Meu IPVA app, or through the Virtual Assistant on WhatsApp at the given number.

In terms of payment options, owners can complete their IPVA payments either via Pix or at any approved financial institution. When using Pix, it's essential for customers to verify the name of the beneficiary and ensure it corresponds with the Secretaria da Fazenda do Estado do Ceará, bearing the correct CNPJ number to avoid any potential fraud. It’s recommended for vehicle owners to be vigilant about using secure payment methods and to only rely on official communication from the tax authorities.

Additionally, the Secretaria da Fazenda emphasizes that they do not send payment slips via mail, WhatsApp, or email, and thus public advisories encourage taxpayers to exercise caution and verify contact methods when completing their payments. As the payment deadline approaches, awareness campaigns may heighten to ensure compliance among vehicle owners, reflecting the state's ongoing efforts in revenue collection and enforcement of tax regulations.
