The SAT's enforcement tools are strengthened. Article 42 is amended for the following purposes:
Verification of simulated transactions: Domicile visits are authorized to review the issuance of false tax receipts, applying the expedited procedure under Article 49-Bis.
Use of multimedia evidence: During tax audits, photos, audio recordings, and videos may be used as evidence of observed facts and reviewed assets.
Communication of tax findings: The authority must inform the taxpayer and their representatives of any detected non-compliance within 10 business days following the last partial report, observation notice, or provisional resolution.
Contact details of legal entities: Companies must provide and keep updated the information of their governing bodies and legal representatives from the start of the audit; failure to do so will be considered a waiver of the right to be informed.
In addition, Article 49-Bis is added, which regulates a specific procedure for detecting and penalizing the issuance of false tax receipts during domicile visits through an abbreviated process.
Furthermore, Article 29-A Bis is proposed, granting the authority the capacity to determine appropriate actions when a tax receipt is deemed false (such as seal restrictions, declaring the transaction without tax effect, initiating criminal proceedings, etc.) without the need to follow the procedure outlined in Article 49-Bis.
Article 30-B is added, establishing that foreign taxpayers without a permanent establishment in Mexico who provide digital services must allow SAT permanent, real-time online access to information that enables verification of compliance with tax obligations.
Article 36 is amended to provide that tax authorities may review tax assessments issued by their subordinates and, on a one-time basis, modify or revoke them in favor of the taxpayer, provided that the taxpayer has not filed any legal remedy and the applicable deadlines have expired.
