Grupo Salinas Rejects SAT’s 74 Billion-Peso Claim, Vows Appeal to Supreme Court

Having paid over 250 billion pesos since 2005, Grupo Salinas says its tax disputes remain under judicial review without any final rulings.

Overview

  • The SAT and the Federal Tax Prosecutor have 32 pending lawsuits against Grupo Salinas claiming over 74 billion pesos in unpaid taxes dating back to 2009–2012.
  • Grupo Salinas asserts it has paid more than 250 billion pesos in taxes since 2005 and denies any outstanding liabilities.
  • The company describes the proceedings as fiscal extortion and political persecution, accusing government officials of pressuring judges and leaking case information.
  • To dispute what it labels "double charges," Grupo Salinas says the cases remain under judicial review without binding enforcement of the contested tax credits.
  • The dispute underscores heightened tax enforcement under the López Obrador and Sheinbaum administrations and will be resolved through appeals at the Supreme Court session beginning September 1, 2025.
