Why should you keep filing Tax and IMSS Audit reports “Dictamenes”? October 20, 2010

Background The Statutory Audit Tax Report was created in Mexico more than 50 years ago. Since then, it has been an instrument to help tax authorities in their taxes collection and validation activity. At the beginning its filing was voluntary, then it was mandatory for taxpayers who reach certain number of assets, income or employees. The Social Security Statutory Report was created 17 years ago, and since 2003 it has been mandatory to employers with three hundred employees or more. It always has been a supportive instrument to authorities and keep balance between Taxpayer and authorities.

Decree June 30 On June 30, 2010, the Mexican Official Gazette published a presidential decree granting certain administrative facilities which among others gives the option to taxpayers of not filling the Tax and Social Security Reports for 2010 and forward when complying with certain requirements of information which are unknown at this date. Nevertheless, we recommend the voluntary audit that could bring advantages to the Company’s management in addition of the reducing of exposure. The company will be covered from a direct audit or review from authorities.
