"The change stems from the 2025 amendment to the Federal Tax Code, which has sparked controversy in the sector following the reform of Article 30-B. This provision stipulates that taxpayers providing digital services must grant tax authorities permanent, real-time online access only to the information necessary to verify compliance with tax obligations, as recorded in their systems or records. When asked about the reform, the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency referred EL PAIS to the SAT."
"Gari Flores, the SAT's general administrator for Revenue Collection, says in an interview that this is the same information companies already submitted monthly, but that now direct access will be established, so authorities can view the data in real time. The information, he explains, includes: the type and number of sales transactions, the type and origin of the products, whether they were subject to foreign trade taxes, and whether they carry tariff restrictions."
Starting April 1, digital platforms operating in Mexico must provide the Tax Administration Service (SAT) with a permanent, real-time online connection to internal transaction data. The requirement, based on a 2025 amendment to the Federal Tax Code and reform of Article 30-B, covers ecommerce, vacation rental platforms, mobility apps, delivery services, and online small and medium businesses. The data accessible includes sales transaction counts, product types and origins, foreign trade tax status, and tariff restrictions. The stated goals are to increase tax collection, reduce platform tax evasion, and improve smuggling control. Industry representatives warn of potential cybersecurity and sensitive data risks.
