Mexico’s Servicio de Administración Tributaria, ‘SAT’ has provided some additional obligations for issuers of CFDI e-invoices. This is the regime introduced in 2011, now mandated for all most taxpayers.
The two changes include:
- Additional discolsures of the nature of supplies on invoices and payment receipts. This is to help detect items not eligible for VAT deductions against a taxpayer’s VAT liabilities. Product classification in Mexico is rigidly controlled within the Resolucion Miscelanea Fiscal code. This requirement was implemented from 1 January 2021.
- For CFDI Carta Porte shipping notes, the must correspond to the e-invoice within CFDI. SAT has modified new obligations from 1 October 2021.
