Mexico City’s 2026 vehicle tax exemption rules now include stricter value limits

Mexico City has outlined new rules for its 2026 vehicle tax exemption programme. Owners of qualifying cars and motorcycles can avoid paying annual taxes if they meet specific criteria. The scheme applies to individuals and nonprofit organisations with eligible vehicles.

To receive a full tax exemption next year, cars must not exceed 638,000 pesos in value, including VAT. For motorcycles, the limit is set at 250,000 pesos. Owners must also hold a valid vehicle registration card and have no unpaid tax debts from previous years.

The exemption period runs from January to 31 March 2026. Before applying, vehicle owners must pay an annual plate renewal fee of 760 pesos. Payments can be made at over 8,800 locations, including treasury kiosks, banks, convenience stores, and department stores. Digital options are also available through the Tesorería CDMX app or the Secretary of Administration and Finance’s official website. The programme maintains its 100% exemption rate for qualifying vehicles. Authorities have confirmed that no changes will be made to the eligibility thresholds for 2026.

The exemption applies only to those who complete the renewal process and meet all requirements. Payments must be settled by the end of March to avoid losing the benefit. Eligible owners will then receive full relief from vehicle taxes for the year.
