Road Tax

Online Application

Online applications are possible in May/June when road tax payments are due.

First, you need to get a senha (password) to enable you to log in to the Finanças website.

Then go to the Finanças website

Log into the website with your Numero de Contribuinte and Senha.

Click on “Liquidação/Pagamento do Imposto Municipal sobre Veículos” and you will be presented with a page of script which is describing the procedure to you. (At the bottom of the page is a button marked “Continuar“. Click this and you will be see an information box, which is telling you that when you have completed the process you will be presented with a PDF pop up and that you should disable any Pop up blocker which you have activated in order to receive this. The PDF is important, as it gives you the payment details which you will need to complete the process.) Click “OK” and then disable your Pop up blocker if active.

You will then be presented with the details of the vehicles which Finanças have on record as being owned by you. Tick the box which applies to the vehicle which you wish to apply for and click on the button marked “Emitir“.

You will be presented with a box which asks you to confirm that the mailing details which Finanças holds for you are still current. If the details are correct click “OK” to proceed. (If these details are not correct you will need to update your information before you can proceed, as the vehicle licence will be sent to that address which they hold on file for you. Do this by using the “Alterar Morada” option on the home page.)

This will then provide you with the previously described PDF with payment details. You can pay by Multibanco, Internet banking, and of course by post (CTT) or at your local Finanças office. If you choose to pay by Multibanco or Internet banking, you will need to use the number in the box marked Referência para Pagamento and if you pay by post or at Finanças you should provide copies of the PDF for their reference.

Multibanco payments
Print a copy of the Payment Certificate which was presented in PDF, so that you have the payment reference with you. At the Multibanco machine select Pagamentos and follow the instructions on the screen, choosing the “Pagamentos ao Estado” option and then insert the number stated on the PDF form.

Internet banking
If you choose to pay by internet banking, in the box marked “Tipo Pagamento” select “Pagamentos ao Estado“. If the drop down menu does not yet give you “I.M. Veiculos” as an option, as for example with BPI Internet Banking, choose “Outros Impostos” which should take you to the required section and ask for the type of payment you wish to make, which is Imposto Municipal sobre Veículos. This is where you will need the reference number from the PDF form.
