Mexico SAT expands services, tightens enforcement

Overview

Since April 2026 the Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT) began issuing the first 2025 tax refunds (10.1 bn pesos) and clarified that payroll withholdings in Oaxaca do not lower workers’ net pay. It refuted social‑media claims that it could automatically freeze accounts over 50,000 pesos, stating that any seizure requires a formal debt procedure. In May the agency launched a crackdown on about 550,000 non‑paying firms, promoted the low‑rate Simplified Trust Regime and partnered with the Buró de Crédito to erase small‑debt records. A June mobile‑office tour covered 28 states, processing roughly 15,000 procedures for 7,600 taxpayers and publishing a list of over 100 alleged “factureros”. The same month SAT denied a reported cyber‑attack and warned of a resurgence of phantom companies, tightening digital‑seal rules for fuel invoicing. July saw the “Amigos del SAT” programme expand on‑site assistance in Baja California and address a backlog of foreign‑origin vehicle registrations; solidary liability was introduced, allowing tax debts to be pursued against legal representatives and shareholders, and fines of up to 44,970 pesos were set for unreported used‑car sales. A fiscal resolution raised audit activity to 10,854 in Q1 (up 37.7 % YoY) while total tax collection fell 1.4 % and income‑tax receipts dropped 5.8 %. SAT required all taxpayers to keep their Buzón Tributario active by 31 Dec 2026, with fines of 3,850‑11,540 pesos for non‑compliance, and continued to tighten digital‑seal rules. The agency marked its 29th anniversary with a half‑year collection of nearly 3 trn pesos and expanded mobile offices to over 400 municipalities, processing about 13,000 procedures by late July. In August SAT intensified digital oversight, using electronic reviews that cross‑check CFDI data, bank deposits, social‑security records and other government sources.
