- E-invoicing is mandatory for all taxpayers in Mexico, covering B2B, B2C, and B2G transactions with no exemptions.
- Invoices must use the CFDI XML format (version 4.0) and be validated in real time by authorized certification providers (PACs).
- Both issuers and recipients must archive invoices for at least five years; non-compliance can result in fines of 5–10% of the invoice value.
- The 2026 tax reform introduces stricter authenticity requirements and gives the tax authority (SAT) enhanced enforcement powers.
- E-invoicing supports transparency, reduces fraud, and enables tighter VAT control across all industries in Mexico.
