The Vehicle owners in Guatemala have until July 31 to pay the Vehicle Circulation Tax (ISCV) corresponding to 2026 and avoid fines, interest and other charges for non-compliance.
According to data from the Superintendence of Tax Administration (SAT), around 2.2 million vehicles have already paid the tax, which is equivalent to 33.15% of the country’s active vehicle fleet, which exceeds 6.6 million units.
The institution also reported that the accumulated collection as of June 9 amounts to Q573.49 million, equivalent to 38.40% of the goal of Q1,495.13 million projected for this year.
The authorities recalled that the procedure can be carried out online in less than five minutes.

Since February 2025, after the reforms to the Traffic Law, it is no longer mandatory to print or place the decal on the windshield or license plate. Its presentation, digital or printed, is valid before the authorities.
The SAT recommends saving the file on your cell phone and taking precautions if it is stored in the cloud, since, without an internet connection, it will not be able to be displayed during a stop.
SAT statistics indicate that January, June and July concentrate the highest levels of payment of this tax. The entity also remembers that those who paid the tax in 2025 keep the card and circulation sticker valid until July 31, 2026.
