SAT detects tax simulation in Mexico

The Tributary Administration Service (SAT) detected a network of tax simulation 13,000 partners and shareholders of girls and "big" companies and 600,000 businesses "at risk" that escape the tax and have in common to be companies "ghosts" or facades created ex profo to escape the treasure.

According to data feeds from SAT, this network, among these companies, partners and shareholders indicated charged a flow of 100 billion pesos, which amount does not include tax fraud.

The simulation network It is formed by companies from all economic sectors, as well as by marketers, service providers, large companies, communication and sports such as football, revealed Samuel Magaña Espinosa, Central Administrator Planning and programming of the federal tax audit of the SAT.

He indicated that 13,000 partners or shareholders used tax simulation schemes to omit the withholding tax corresponding to the cash flow; In other words, if there was a flow of 300 million pesos between the company and the partner, a deduction of about 100 million pesos was omitted, which would equate to 30% of the tax on income (ISR).

"In these 13 thousand partners and shareholders There is everything, everything. I would also like to mention that there are people publicly or politically exposed. What I'm going to do is that there are big companies or people from the sports world, "he warned at a press conference, avoiding to mention the name of these partners and shareholders.

Magaña Espinosa added that they were "ghost" companies, simulated or shaped, because they have similar characteristics, such as they are newly created or do not meet their tax obligations, that is to say they do not pay taxes, even if there is a cash flow in the banks.

He added that these companies also have the characteristic of not having registered workers, or "registered assets", we have coincidences or risk of contamination of legal representatives, partners or shareholders or persons in charge who live in marginalized areas or that tax homes are virtual and physical addresses do not correspond to a real business.

"We have detected the chain of these companies, their partners and shareholders, their legal representatives, pollution at the tax home level, the telephone, the e-mail, the dispatches that advise, that allow us to conclude that & # 39; It is a simulated scheme, just to try to dilute this tax liability and tax risk, "he said.
