Rules
- Bought from April on: you pay the part of the year that is left, counting the month of purchase: the annual tax ÷ 12 × the months left. A $16,199 car bought in October pays $66.99 of $267.96. Source: Decree 352, RO 200, 2010 (in Spanish). Decree 1114 (2020) amended that regulation; we have not yet been able to read the amended text, so this rule is still to be confirmed.
- Electric vehicles: exempt since 14/07/2025 when for private use; not motorbikes or hybrids (more).
- Not included: the ANT registration fee, SPPAT insurance, the Junta de Beneficencia fee in Guayaquil, municipal taxes, or exemptions you apply to SRI for (older adults, people with disabilities, public transport).
This is a reference. The amount due is the one SRI shows at registration; look it up on SRI en Línea (in Spanish).
