Grupo Salinas Threatens SAT Lawsuit, Eyes Human-Rights Action as Mexico’s Top Court Readies Tax Rulings

The conglomerate escalates its fight over contested SAT assessments ahead of Supreme Court hearings.

Overview

  • Mexico’s Supreme Court is slated to resolve tax-related cases involving Grupo Salinas in the coming days, according to the company’s statement and local reports.
  • Grupo Salinas alleges some justices are under Executive pressure and predicts rulings that would validate what it calls SAT “extortions,” framing the dispute as a blow to judicial independence.
  • The company claims its matters were added late to the Court’s agenda on the night of November 7, describing the move as procedurally irregular.
  • It says it is evaluating a lawsuit against the SAT and “whoever is responsible” for alleged administrative silence and violation of its right to prompt and expeditious justice.
  • The group signals plans to pursue actions before the Inter-American human-rights system, while urging the SAT to re-quantify alleged tax credits without double charges or excessive surcharges and reiterating willingness to pay amounts it deems lawful.
