The debt arose because, at the end of the fiscal consolidation regime, various losses from the sale of shares that the company used in the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 to reduce its tax payments were no longer added up.
The company challenged the amount owed before the Federal Administrative Court; when it ruled in favor of the SAT, Elektra filed an amparo suit and, once again, Ricardo Salinas Pliego’s company lost.
Last June, Elektra also lost in a second instance appeal against the payment of ISR that has been dragging on since 2008 and which to date reaches almost 2 thousand 11 million pesos.
On March 20, the federal government reported that Grupo Salinas has debts of 63 billion pesos with the treasury; the company said it will continue its litigation in court. According to the SAT, the original amount of the debt of the entire group was 38 billion pesos, due to 17 lawsuits; at the end of the previous administration, that amount had grown to 53 billion, to which another 10 billion pesos are added from cases generated by the current government.
