Mexico · Tax guide

The SAT annual-return campaign in April 2026 covers 2025 income. Filing obligations depend on income sources and exemptions.

By Sources checked 28 Oct 2026

Personal income tax

Multiple simultaneous employers, foreign-paid salary and additional non-salary income can trigger annual filing. Check SAT's exceptions rather than using only the MXN 400,000 salary threshold.

Filing & deadlines

Use the 2025 annual-return microsite and verify payroll vouchers, personal deductions and withholding. The service requires RFC and password or e.firma as applicable.

Business and scope

Business, professional and platform income have separate guidance. RESICO annual-return relief depends on the applicable rules and should not be assumed for every individual.

Uses the official 2026 annual ISR tariff, not the 2025 return tariff published in the same annex. IMSS uses integrated daily salary, statutory benefits, actual calendar days, the February UMA change and the 25-UMA ceiling. Variable bonuses enter the following two-month contribution period; enter all variable pay from November–December 2025 for the opening period. Leave entitlement steps up in the anniversary month (assumed first day); vacation premium uses entitlement in its payment month. Annual tax exemptions are capped at 30 daily UMA for aguinaldo and 15 for vacation premium. Eligible personal deductions are capped at the lesser of 15% of gross income and five annual UMA. Social deductions are not subtracted from the ISR base. Excludes low-pay employment subsidy, other income, loans, profit sharing, special deductions and non-cash benefits. Net reflects annual settled ISR, while payroll withholding can differ.
