SURI · Hacienda: arbitrios de vehículos
Where does the excise tax figure come from?
From SURI, Hacienda’s system. We look up your VIN in its public vehicle value search and show the base price and estimated excise tax SURI calculates, the same ones you would see there. Hacienda sets the final tax when it appraises the vehicle.
Should I use what I paid for the car?
No need. SURI calculates from its own base price for your VIN. If SURI has no value for your car, you can estimate from the price: we apply Hacienda’s table to the price plus 30%, as SURI does for cars and SUVs.
Do electric cars and hybrids pay the excise tax?
Electric cars and plug-in hybrids are exempt by law (Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, Sec. 3030.03(f)(2)) until Hacienda certifies they reach 10% of the cars brought into Puerto Rico. Conventional hybrids pay the full tax: their refund ended on June 30, 2016. A 2026 bill proposed ending the exemption, so confirm it with Hacienda before importing.
Does this calculator pay or file documents in SURI?
No. It only organizes your budget. Check the declaration, payment, and release steps for your vehicle with Hacienda and your carrier.
What if I do not have a quote yet?
Leave that expense blank. The result marks it “To confirm” and shows a partial budget. Enter 0 only if it does not apply or is included in another amount.
