Regarding the deportations of Mexican migrants from the United States, the Tax Administration Service (SAT) of Mexico has announced that those deported by the government of Donald Trump must regularize their tax situation upon returning to the country.
María José Ríos, administrator of the Tax Administration Service, mentioned that support will be provided to Mexicans who decide to return and regularize their tax documents. The SAT, in collaboration with the National Institute of Migration, has implemented a support program to assist these migrants.
The program aims to provide incentives to about 200,000 small taxpayers to regularize their tax situation, covering incomes of up to 35 million pesos and applying to various contributions. The requirements include not having received waivers in previous programs, not having final convictions for tax crimes, and not being listed in specific lists of the Federal Tax Code.
Among the measures contemplated in the program, the reduction of fines and surcharges is highlighted, although it does not apply to the total amount of contributions. During the first week of Trump's government, Mexico received 4,094 deported persons from the United States, primarily Mexicans, according to President Claudia Sheinbaum. However, Sheinbaum indicated that there has not been a significant increase in deportations and highlighted the work of a bilateral working group on migration issues between Mexico and the United States.
