- Mexico’s SAT is ramping up tax enforcement, using data analysis and technology to flag taxpayers with higher compliance risk rather than conducting random audits.
- The focus is on signs of tax non-compliance such as false invoices, shell companies, repeated tax losses, unjustified deductions, omitted income, improper incentives/exemptions, and suspicious refund claims.
- SAT is also watching for mismatches in imports, purchases, and sales, undervalued imports, unpaid payroll withholdings, and transactions involving low-tax jurisdictions.
- Taxpayers with unusual effective tax rates compared with their industry may be reviewed and could receive notices through the SAT Tax Mailbox for deeper checks.
- Businesses using CFDI, including retailers, hospitality, e-commerce, and e-invoicing providers, may face penalties if serious non-compliance is found.
