There is still no indication of changes to the tables, but it is possible that the tax will increase
From 2026 onwards, you will have to pay the Single Circulation Tax (IUC) in February, regardless of the date your car was registered. Until now, IUC was paid in the month corresponding to the vehicle’s registration, but with the new legislation this reference no longer exists and payment is now made in February of each year.
This change will have an impact on your financial organization, especially if you have more than one car. Instead of payments being distributed throughout the year, you will have to make them all in the same month, which can represent a considerable burden on your family budget.
However, to mitigate this impact, the Government determined that, if the value of your IUC is greater than 100 euros, you can choose to divide the payment into two equal installments: the first paid by the end of February and the second by the end of October. Still, if you prefer, you can pay the full amount in February. If the amount is equal to or less than 100 euros, payment must be made in one payment in February.
You should also take into account that this change in calendar could lead you to pay the IUC twice in a short space of time. If you usually pay your tax in December, for example, this year you will pay as usual and, in February 2026, you will have to do it again. Answering the question: yes, even if you pay the IUC now in November or December, you will have to pay it again in February.
According to DECO PROteste, this is the model to apply from now on.
As for the amount to be paid, there are no known changes to the tables yet, but it is possible that the tax will increase.
IUC payment must be made through the Finance Portal, where you can issue the billing note and payment references. To avoid forgetfulness and possible fines, you can also authorize a direct debit with the Tax Authority, ensuring that the amount is automatically paid within the deadline.
