Listed below are some simple tax tips that might assist when

investing in Mexico’s growing real estate market:

• If you work and/or gain income from an investment in Mexico

(even if you aren’t a citizen), you’ll most probably have to pay

income taxes. A good place to begin is by contacting the Servicio de

Administración Tributaria (SAT or Hacienda).

• All income earned in Mexico carries a certain taxation.

Regardless of how it’s distributed or gifted, paid in pesos or USD,

or any other monetary valued payout. It has to be reported as

income.

• When you own property in Mexico & are a partial or full-time

resident, you have to register with Mexico’s Registro Federal de

Contribuyente (RFC). This is identical to your Tax ID number.
