- Starting January 1, 2026, Mexico will expand VAT and income tax withholding rules on digital platforms to include B2B (business-to-business) sales, affecting both local and cross-border sellers.
- Platforms must withhold 50% of VAT and 2.5% income tax from Mexican business sellers with a valid RFC; if no RFC is provided, they must withhold 100% of VAT and 20% income tax.
- The income tax withholding rate for individual sellers will increase from 1% to 2.5%.
- For cross-border transactions, platforms must withhold 100% of VAT on sales by foreign sellers or when proceeds are paid to foreign bank accounts.
- Platforms and sellers must update their systems and ensure accurate RFC and payment information to comply with the new rules.
