(Illustrative Image Infobae)<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<h2>New Tax Initiative Overview<\/h2>\n<p><b>Senator Amalia Dolores Garc\u00eda Medina<\/b> from the Parliamentary Group of <b>Citizen Movement<\/b> has recently introduced an ambitious tax initiative aimed at altering how inheritances are taxed in Mexico. Presented on <b>April 22, 2026<\/b>, this proposal seeks to amend the Income Tax Law (ISR), Social Security Law, VAT Law, and Fiscal Coordination Law. If enacted, high-value inheritances will no longer be exempt from taxation, marking a significant shift in fiscal policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Current Tax Exemptions<\/h2>\n<p>Currently, Mexico offers complete exemption from ISR for inheritances, regardless of their value. This exemption encourages the accumulation of wealth without contributing to public revenue through inheritance tax. The new proposal aims to change this by implementing a progressive tax structure that applies to inheritances exceeding <b>$14 million pesos<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3>Proposed Tax Rates<\/h3>\n<p>The initiative outlines a tiered tax structure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$14.01 to $50 million: 10%<\/li>\n<li>$50.01 to $90 million: 12%<\/li>\n<li>$90.01 to $130 million: 15%<\/li>\n<li>More than $130 million: 18%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This progressive approach intends to ensure that wealth redistribution contributes toward financing social rights, making the tax a final payment at the time of the inheritance transfer.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Changes and Asset Taxation<\/h2>\n<p>The reform introduces an annual tax on net assets exceeding <b>$100 million pesos<\/b>, with rates ranging from 2% to 6%. This tax covers various assets, including real estate, luxury vehicles, and art. In addition, a new VAT measure is proposed to apply to high-end possessions such as yachts, jewelry, and private aircraft valued over <b>$1.5 million pesos<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>Anti-Evasion Measures<\/h2>\n<p>To combat tax evasion, the initiative presents several anti-abuse measures:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Requirements to identify the <b>real natural person<\/b> behind trusts and companies.<\/li>\n<li>Empowering the <b>Tax Administration Service<\/b> (SAT) to disregard legal setups that lack valid business reasons.<\/li>\n<li>Assets in trust will be taxed as belonging to the beneficiary unless stated otherwise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Funding Social Programs<\/h2>\n<p>The initiative also specifies that <b>60% of the generated revenue<\/b> will finance a Universal Health Insurance program for those without social security, providing a 100% state subsidy for the first five years, followed by a gradual decrease over 25 years. The remaining 40% will be distributed to states and municipalities for social welfare projects.<\/p>\n<h2>Next Steps for the Initiative<\/h2>\n<p>The proposed reforms will soon reach the Congress of the Union for discussion and approval. It represents a crucial evolution in taxation policy and aims to directly address wealth inequality in Mexico, ensuring that those inheriting significant assets contribute towards public welfare and social equity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/category\/general\/\" rel=\"dofollow\">General News &#8211; 2<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposal, analyzed in a legal note from the P\u00e9rez-Llorca M\u00e9xico law firm, seeks to transform the collection system towards an equity model that finances universal social rights.
