New Fuel Tracking Mechanism in Mexico

The Mexican government introduces a new fuel tracking mechanism to combat corruption and smuggling. From April 24, 2026, fuel sellers will be required to use a special supplement to electronic receipts (CFDI).


As part of the actions carried out by the government of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo to provide certainty and security to the population regarding the commercialization and traceability of fuels, the 'Complement for the Billing of Hydrocarbons and Petrochemicals' will come into effect on April 24, 2026, as part of the Digital Tax Receipt via Internet (CFDI).

This new mechanism was created by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) in coordination with the Ministry of Energy (SENER), the National Energy Commission (CNE), and the Agency for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications (ATDT). It is part of a joint strategy to combat corruption, theft, and technical fuel smuggling.

The complement is part of the CFDI, so establishments that sell or market regular gasoline, premium gasoline, and/or diesel must have a valid permit from the CNE. If they do not incorporate it into their operations, they will not be able to issue CFDI for this concept.

Therefore, permission holders are invited to verify the validity of their permits and, if necessary, regularize their situation with the CNE, so that they can issue CFDI without problems and meet their obligations.

With these measures, the Government of Mexico reiterates its commitment to society to promote the legal fuel market, combat the theft and smuggling of gasoline, and strengthen the revenue generated from this trade for the benefit of the entire population.
