Mexico SAT expands tax relief with vehicle debt discounts and mobile office services
The Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) issued a formal notice under Article 69‑B of the Fiscal Code, listing taxpayers suspected of issuing invoices without the necessary assets, personnel, or infrastructure. A fifteen‑day window was granted for affected parties to submit evidence to contest the presumption, after which definitive resolutions may be issued.
SAT officials emphasized the need for stricter electronic accounting, warning that inconsistencies between recorded data and tax filings can trigger automated reviews, invitation letters, or audits. The agency highlighted its use of artificial‑intelligence tools to detect risky patterns and urged regular reconciliations and proper documentation.
In Sonora, the state government promoted the “Borrón y Cuenta Nueva” program, granting a 100 % discount on recargos for vehicle tax debts accrued over the past five years. The incentive runs from 10 July to 30 September 2026, with public service hours at fiscal agencies from 20 to 31 July and an annual‑payment option to aid families.
Separately, SAT reinforced its mobile‑office operation in Morelos, delivering on‑site services such as RFC registration, e‑signature issuance, and tax‑status certificates. The agency also launched a 2026 regularisation scheme that offers up to 100 % discounts on fines, surcharges, and enforcement costs for eligible individuals and companies, with applications due by 31 October.
