• All rental earning is subject to Impuesto Sobre la Renta (ISR).

Your residential status is independent from it. You must pay

taxes on your rental earning. The ISR tax rate is based on 25

percent of your gross income earned.

• If the rental property is furnished, on top of the ISR tax,

there’s an Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA), or valued added

tax (VAT). The IVA is collected from the renter & paid to the

Mexican govt by the landlord. This is an extra 16 percent tax

charged directly to the tenants.
