DECREE granting tax incentives to support the national strategy named "Plan Mexico", to foster new investments, incentivize dual training programs, and drive innovation.

At the margin, a seal with the National Coat of Arms, which reads: United Mexican States.- Presidency of the Republic.

CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM PARDO, President of the United Mexican States, in exercise of the authority conferred upon me by Article 89, Section I, of the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, based on Articles 31 and 34 of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration and Article 39, first paragraph, Section III, of the Federal Tax Code, and

CONSIDERING

That, on November 27, 2024, as part of the national strategy named "Plan Mexico", the Head of the Federal Executive presented to the Advisory Council for Regional Economic Development and Relocation (1), whose main task is to promote and implement the National Relocation Strategy, as well as private sector actions to concretize investments, generate jobs, and promote regional development;

That the Advisory Council for Regional Economic Development and Relocation, within its actions, contemplates promoting projects through mixed investment and infrastructure schemes, to strengthen industrial corridors and Welfare Poles; develop local/regional supply chains; increase investment and export amounts; double dual education programs, certifications, and technical careers, among others;

That, on January 13, 2025, the President of the Republic presented the national strategy named "Plan Mexico" (2), which establishes, among other goals: strengthen national industry for the local/regional market; expand import substitution with value chains; generate jobs; strengthen scientific, technological development and innovation; position Mexico among the ten largest economies worldwide, in order to achieve well-being for all Mexicans;

That, in order to maximize the competitive advantages of our country, develop local/regional supply chains, and strengthen training and technological innovation, as well as direct marketing channels, the Head of the Federal Executive considers it necessary to make more efficient the incentives currently granted to foreign companies relocating in the national territory and to promote those national companies that have the capacity to integrate into value chains; therefore, through this instrument, tax incentives are granted without distinction of industrial sectors or of national or foreign companies, considering the participation of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs);

That, in addition to allowing access to the largest possible number of companies, it is important to provide security to investors, favor liquidity, generate greater investment and economic development, so this Government considers it appropriate that the tax incentives be applicable until September 30, 2030;

That it is fundamental to foster the development of technical capacities, mainly through the programs of the Dual Education System under the responsibility of the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP), to have a highly qualified industry in technical and technological terms. The implementation of the dual education model in the National Education System has allowed the development of qualified labor capable of responding to the current demand of the productive sector, which makes it possible to create a collaboration network between educational institutions and the business sector for the training and education of students/apprentices;

That the Government of Mexico, with the intention of taking full advantage of this educational model and in congruence with "Plan Mexico", considers it necessary to subject the additional deduction for training expenses to the requirement that companies have a collaboration agreement signed with the SEP for the implementation of dual education;

That, within the objectives of "Plan Mexico", is also the promotion of national innovation, through support for investment projects that promote the development of inventions for the obtaining of patents, or initial certifications that enable taxpayers to integrate into local/regional supply chains; therefore, the Head of the Federal Executive deems it convenient to grant a tax incentive consisting of an additional deduction for expenses associated with these items;

That, by allowing tax incentives to be applied by a larger number of companies, it is necessary to establish evaluation and control measures to provide transparency and certainty, so this Government considers it necessary to create an Evaluation Committee integrated by representatives of the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit and the Secretariat of Economy with the participation of the Advisory Council for Regional Economic Development and Relocation;

That the committee will evaluate investment projects in new fixed assets, collaboration agreements on dual education, or investment projects that lead to the development of inventions for the obtaining of patents or for initial certification that allows companies to join local/regional supply chains, presented by those companies intending to apply the tax incentives, and, if applicable, will issue the certificate of compliance, which will allow applying the tax incentives established in the decree. This, in accordance with the guidelines issued by said committee;

That, as a budgetary control measure in the application of tax incentives, the total amount that the Evaluation Committee will authorize to companies will not exceed 30 billion pesos during the validity of this decree, of which 28 billion 500 million pesos will be allocated for the tax incentive on investment in new fixed assets and the remaining 1 billion 500 million pesos for the tax incentive on the additional deduction for training and innovation expenses;

That another control measure will consist of the Evaluation Committee determining for each fiscal year the maximum amount of tax incentives that taxpayers may apply, in accordance with the guidelines referred to in this instrument;

That, with the purpose of promoting tax incentives among MSMEs, this administration considers it appropriate to establish in this decree that, of the total amount of incentives, at least 1 billion pesos will be allocated to taxpayers with total income in the immediate previous fiscal year of up to 100 million pesos, and

That, in exercise of the authority established in Article 39, first paragraph, Section III, of the Federal Tax Code, I have deemed it appropriate to issue the following

DECREE

Article First. A tax incentive is granted to legal entities that pay taxes under the terms of Titles II or VII, Chapter XII, of the Income Tax Law, and to natural persons who pay taxes in accordance with Title IV, Chapter II, Section I of said law, provided that they meet, among others, the following requirements:

I.

Be registered in the Federal Taxpayer Registry and have the tax mailbox enabled under Article 17-K of the Federal Tax Code;

II.

Have a positive opinion on the compliance with tax obligations referred to in Article 32-D of the Federal Tax Code;

III.

Present the investment project; the collaboration agreement signed with the Secretariat of Public Education on dual education; the investment project for the development of the invention or for initial certification, as applicable;

IV.

Have the certificate of compliance issued by the Evaluation Committee to apply the tax incentives of this instrument, and

V.

Comply with the guidelines issued by the Evaluation Committee for this purpose.

The incentive consists of opting to make the immediate deduction of the investment in new fixed assets, acquired from the date of entry into force of this decree until September 30, 2030, deducting in the fiscal year in which the investment is made the amount resulting from applying to the original amount of the investment, only the percentages established in Article Second of this decree, instead of those indicated in Articles 34, 35, and 209, sections B and C of the Income Tax Law, as applicable.

The portion of said amount that exceeds the amount resulting from applying the percentage established in Article Second of this decree, will be deductible only under the terms of Article Third, first paragraph, Section III, of this decree.

The provisions of this article will only be applicable with respect to those investments that taxpayers maintain in use for a minimum period of two immediate fiscal years following the year in which their immediate deduction is made, except in the cases referred to in Article 37 of the Income Tax Law.

The provisions of this article are not applicable regarding office furniture and equipment, automobiles propelled by internal combustion engines, automobile armor equipment, or any unidentifiable individual fixed asset, nor regarding aircraft other than those dedicated to agricultural aerial fumigation.

For the purposes of Article 14, Section I, of the Income Tax Law, taxpayers who in the fiscal years 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, or 2030 apply the immediate deduction of investment in new fixed assets established in this decree, must calculate the profit coefficient of provisional payments made during the fiscal year of 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, or 2031, adding the fiscal profit or reducing the fiscal loss of the year 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, or 2030, as applicable, with the amount of the deduction referred to in this article.

The fiscal profit determined under the terms of Article 14, Section II, of the Income Tax Law, may be reduced by the amount of the immediate deduction made in the same fiscal year under the terms of this article. The cited amount of the immediate deduction must be reduced in equal parts in the provisional payments corresponding to the fiscal year in question, starting from the month in which the investment is made. This reduction must be made in the provisional payments of the year in an accumulative manner. For the purposes of this paragraph, the profit coefficient determined under the terms of Article 14, Section I, of the Income Tax Law, cannot be recalculated.

Taxpayers must keep a specific record of the investments for which they opted to apply the immediate deduction under the terms of this article, which contains the supporting documentation, describes the type of good, the relationship with their main business or activity, the specific process or activity in which the good was used, the percentage for deduction purposes applicable to it, the year in which the deduction was applied, and the date on which the good is sold, lost due to fortuitous event or force majeure, or ceases to be useful.

For the purposes of Article 5 of the Value Added Tax Law, the immediate deduction established in this decree is considered as a fully deductible expenditure, provided that the requirements established in the Income Tax Law are met.
