Many sellers assume that once they’ve registered for an RFC tax ID and the platform has remitted the withheld taxes, their obligations are fulfilled. In reality, withholding is merely an advance payment; monthly filings, annual income tax returns, and supplementary information filings under specific circumstances must still be completed by the taxpayer themselves. This article lists the routine filing requirements for local Mexican companies, the submission deadlines for each form, and the general consequences of failing to file or filing late, to help you ensure you’ve fulfilled all compliance obligations beyond withholding taxes.

On Meike Duo’s Mexico site, a store’s reputation directly determines which page a product listing appears on. Once the return rate exceeds the threshold, the loss extends beyond a single order—it affects organic visibility, ad efficiency, and the gross profit margin of the entire product listing. This article breaks down the four metrics—returns, cancellations, complaints, and delayed shipments—to analyze their impact, provides a four-step remediation plan and a comprehensive formula for calculating return costs, and explains how to use post-sale scripts and local return addresses to help sellers regain the traffic they’ve lost.

Article 69-B of Mexico’s Federal Tax Code stipulates that the SAT may publish a list of taxpayers suspected of issuing invoices for fictitious transactions. Once your RFC or a supplier’s RFC is added to the list, the consequences go far beyond mere fines: CFDIs may be deemed invalid, the platform’s withholding rate may jump directly from 10.51 TP3T to 361 TP3T, and input tax credits may be subject to retroactive adjustment. This article explains the triggering mechanisms, self-inspection steps, and the window for remedial action after being added to the list.

Cross-border sellers who have registered a local company in Mexico often find themselves in an awkward situation: their input tax exceeds their output tax, and the money remains tied up with the tax authorities. Whether this money can be refunded—and how long it will take to be credited—depends on whether the RFC is valid and whether the e-firma electronic signature and bank account have been registered in advance. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the application requirements, common pitfalls, and the three monthly tasks you must complete.

The costs associated with “double clearance with tax included” in the Mexican market are being reassessed in 2026. When goods are cleared under a third party’s name, sellers lack import records in their own name, making it impossible to claim input tax credits for the VAT paid at the import stage, and the cost documentation chain for local companies is simultaneously broken. This article breaks down three often-overlooked tax consequences of the “double clearance” model, the four categories of costs that local companies can deduct, and a step-by-step guide for switching from “double clearance” to self-clearance.
