Buenos Aires Province VTV: July Hike Stands as September Discount and Progressive Tariff Bill Surface

Low‑income retirees can obtain a temporary 50% reduction by presenting income and vehicle ownership proof at verification centers.

Overview

  • Provincial VTV fees rose 25.5% from mid‑July after a prior freeze, with cars up to 2,500 kg at about $79,640 and heavier vehicles at roughly $143,353.
  • For September 2025, retirees and pensioners with incomes up to two SMVM are reported to receive a 50% discount processed at inspection sites with the latest pay slip and ownership documents.
  • Provincial deputy Ayelén Rasquetti introduced a bill to tie VTV charges to vehicle value under a tiered scheme based on ability to pay, which is pending in the Legislature.
  • Traffic controls enforce compliance with fines of 300–1,000 Unidades Fijas, which equate to about $430,500–$1,435,000 at the current UF reference.
  • Exemptions continue for municipal service vehicles, fire units and persons with disabilities, while some categories receive 50% rates such as older vehicles and licensed taxis or school transport, as reported locally.
