IUC (Imposto Único de Circulação), or “circulation tax,” is the regular road tax that every car owner in Portugal must pay. There are two main regimes:
- Old Regime: Applies to cars that first entered European roads before July 2007. Taxes are relatively low for these cars.
- New Regime: Applies to cars that entered European roads after July 2008. Taxes are significantly higher for these cars.
So kann ein Kleinwagen nach der alten Regelung etwa 30-40 € kosten, nach der neuen Regelung jedoch rund 150 €. Dies ist eine wichtige Überlegung, wenn Sie ein älteres Auto nach Portugal bringen.
Sie können die IUC für Ihr Fahrzeug wie folgt berechnen dieser Rechner.
Elektroautos und Autos, die vor 1981 gebaut wurden, sind von der IUC ausgenommen.
When and How to Pay IUC?
You will be required to start paying need to start paying IUC within 90 days of obtaining your DAV (Portuguese license plate number). You need to wait until the car registration is completed. Once you have received your DUA, the car will show up when you log in to the Finance Portal.
In our experience it’s not always possible to make the first payment through the Portal, so in that case you will need to visit the local Finance Office.
