The Goal: 5.3 Trillion Without New Taxes

The Tax Administration Service (SAT) presents its 2025 Master Plan, which sets out the actions to reach the collection target of 5.3 trillion pesos set for this year, without creating or increasing taxes.

Strategy: Technology + auditing + incentives for voluntary compliance.

Control #1: Surveillance with Artificial Intelligence

The Change: The use of artificial intelligence will be a central point for detecting tax fraud and evasion patterns.

How to Protect Yourself:

  • Maintain consistency in your returns
  • Fully document all transactions
  • Use software that validates automatically

Benefit: Transparent companies will have fewer audits.

Control #2: Targeted Audits by Sector

The Change: The SAT will step up audits in sectors with high rates of irregularities, such as: Large taxpayers (responsible for more than 50% of tax revenue). Financial services companies, digital platforms and retail chains.

Higher-Risk Sectors:

  • Financial services
  • Digital platforms
  • Retail chains
  • Foreign trade

How to Protect Yourself: Implement robust internal controls if you are in these sectors.

Control #3: New Foreign Trade Rules

The Change: Measures will be applied to continue strengthening the fight against abusive practices, while implementing simplification and collection actions.

Impact: Goods from Asia pay 19% if they exceed $1 USD or $50 USD depending on the treaties.

Benefit: Faster customs processes with correct compliance.

Change #4: Renewed SAT Platforms

The Benefit: The SAT published its press release 09/2025, in which it announces a new presentation of its electronic platform, with which it aims to advance in modernizing its content and simplifying procedures.

How to Take Advantage of It:

  • Familiarize yourself with the new interfaces
  • Use the automatic pre-fill tools
  • Take advantage of the 100% digital procedures

Change #5: Simplified RESICO

The Benefit: In addition, it provides facilities for the Simplified Trust Regime (RESICO) and pre-filling of returns.

Opportunity: Facilities for RESICO: simplification of procedures to register for or remain in this regime.

For Whom: Taxpayers with income under 3.5 million pesos.

Change #6: 12% Wage Increase

The Impact: The minimum wage in Mexico will see a 12% increase starting in 2025, reaching 278.80 pesos per day in the general zone and 419.88 pesos per day in the Northern Border Free Zone.

How to Prepare:

  • Update your payroll calculations
  • Review the impact on benefits
  • Adjust personnel budgets

Change #7: UMA Update

The Impact: The Unit of Measurement and Update (UMA), key for calculating taxes, fines and recovery fees, will be adjusted in 2025.

Effect: Fines and sanctions increase proportionally.

Growth Opportunities

Higher tax collection: The additional resources could finance infrastructure, social programs and public services. Economic formalization: Incentives and simplification will make it easier for SMEs to join the formal sector.

Immediate Action Plan

Weeks 1-2:

  1. Assess whether you are in high-risk sectors
