Rules worth knowing
- Invoices to clients in Mexico must be CFDI 4.0 XML files, stamped by a SAT-authorised provider (PAC). A PDF made here is not a valid factura. Use this tool for foreign clients, quotes and proformas.
- When you are an individual billing a company for services, the company normally withholds two thirds of the IVA (10.6667% of the price) and 10% ISR. If you are in RESICO, the ISR withholding is 1.25% instead of 10%.
- Border-zone businesses can charge IVA at 8% instead of 16% if they qualify for the stimulus.
- Exports of services that meet the conditions in Article 29 of the IVA law are charged at 0%.
