- Mexico now expressly prohibits insurance companies from crediting VAT on goods or services used to fulfill insurance indemnification obligations (damage compensation or replacement through third parties).
- The rule was added in the 2026 Federal Revenue Law and applies retroactively to VAT credited during fiscal year 2025.
- Transitional relief lets insurers keep crediting VAT from acquisitions received through Dec. 31, 2024, if they regularize VAT credited from Jan. 1, 2025 onward by paying it.
- Insurers who correct 2025 VAT positions can receive a 100% waiver of surcharges and pay the principal in up to 12 installments; those under audit or disputing assessments may also get incentives if they withdraw challenges and regularize.
- The change is expected to raise insurers’ costs and likely lead to higher premiums for policyholders.
