Court Decision: Mexico’s VAT Application to Exported Services and the Requirement of Proof

  • The Tenth Collegiate Court in Administrative Matters made a decision regarding the application of VAT to exported services in Mexico.
  • The court ruled that a Mexican company providing commission services to a foreign shipping company did not sufficiently prove that the exported services were used abroad.
  • The court stated that meeting the formal requirements set out in the VAT law is not enough to qualify for a 0% VAT rate.
  • The taxpayer must demonstrate that the services were actually provided outside of Mexico, not just for the benefit of a foreign person.
