Mexico's SAT expands digital services and virtual assistance

The Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT) has announced that over 70% of its procedures can now be completed online to facilitate tax compliance. Through mobile applications such as SAT Móvil and Factura SAT Móvil, taxpayers can consult tax information, check declaration dates, and issue invoices 24/7 from mobile devices.

To further reduce the need for in-person visits, the agency offers a 'Virtual Office' service. This tool allows taxpayers to conduct specific procedures via video call, including RFC registration for individuals, address changes, name corrections, and CURP updates. Users can schedule appointments through the official SAT portal to receive personalized guidance from advisors.

While digital tools like SAT ID assist with password management and e.firma renewals, certain procedures still require physical presence for biometric data collection. For those facing technological barriers, such as senior citizens, SAT provides in-person assistance at offices and internet rooms where staff help with declarations and invoicing without the need for a prior appointment.
