Also the collection strategy for the following year is to continue with the reinforcement of control measures, for those who avoid the tax system pay their taxes, “this will continue to be the line,” explained the official.
According to him Public Finance and Debt Report at the close of Second quarter of the year, the tax revenues were above what is scheduled for 81,028 million pesos; The greatest collection of ISR, VAT and imports was key to achieving this income above the expected.
Lerma explained that the increases in the collection of these taxes were due to the control measures implemented by the SAT and the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM) in coordination with the SHCP.
The Undersecretary of Income explained that the agency is reviewing the issue of collection resignations, since some are no longer in force “in accordance with the current context.”
The collection resignations refer to the amounts of money that the public treasury stops receiving for granting exemptions, deductions, diminished VAT rates such as the one applied in border areas, and zero VAT rates, such as the one that applies to products such as basic foods and medications. There is also a zero VAT rate that applies to books, newspapers and magazines; Sanitary towels, tampons and glasses for menstrual management.
The latest collection renunciations reports that in 2025 1.5 billion pesos will be raised for these tax incentives, and by 2026 estimates 1.6 billion.
Also “we will continue working on administrative simplification issues; there is a fairly important effort, which the SAT is working with the digital transformation agency; what we are waiting for there is that there is a higher taxpayer base derived from these simplification and digitalization schemes, with the aim of not increasing taxes, or generating additional taxes,” he said.
