The Mexican government has presented its 2027 Economic Package to Congress, outlining a fiscal strategy to maintain social programs and infrastructure investment amid rising debt and revenue challenges. The proposal projects a public debt of approximately 21.6 trillion pesos, driven by a projected 14.4% decline in oil revenues and the funding requirements for social welfare programs, such as the 543.5 billion peso allocation for the Senior Citizen Pension.

To bolster revenue without raising general tax rates, the government aims to increase tax collection to 15.9% of GDP through stricter oversight and limits on deductions. A central component involves capping corporate deductions at 96.67% of income, which could effectively act as a minimum tax of roughly 1% of sales, even for companies reporting financial losses. This measure targets practices used by some companies to avoid taxes, addressing a trend where 318,000 out of 524,000 companies in the general regime declared no ISR in 2025.

While the government intends to collect nearly 150 billion pesos by 2027, the proposal has faced criticism. The Unión Industrial del Estado de México (UNIDEM) warned that deduction restrictions could jeopardize export-oriented industries with thin profit margins. Additionally, analysts from the CIEP and various political figures have expressed concern that the plan postpones necessary fiscal consolidation and increases debt risks, particularly if economic growth falls below the projected 1.5% to 2.5% range.
