Adán Augusto Confirms 80 Million Pesos in Income With Questions Over Declarations and Tax Rate

Specialists cited by Reforma question an effective ISR near 2.4 percent.

Overview

  • Adán Augusto López said he received more than 80 million pesos in 2023–2024 from professional services and asserted that his taxes were paid and filings are consistent.
  • He rejected investigative reports that the funds were omitted from patrimonial declarations and described the coverage as manipulative.
  • Reporters highlighted deposits from firms that benefited from public resources, with at least one reportedly flagged by the SAT as a ghost company, which he countered by denying he directly awarded contracts to Rabatte.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly urged him to clarify the origin and treatment of the reported 79 million pesos.
  • Reforma reported he paid an effective ISR rate of about 2.4 percent on those sums, far below the roughly 35 percent specialists say would be expected, intensifying public criticism.
