Mexico Moves to Curb Banks’ IPAB Tax Deductions in 2026 Revenue Bill

Hacienda says the change aligns Mexico with U.S. and Canada, projecting roughly 10 billion pesos in annual revenue.

Overview

  • The 2026 Ley de Ingresos draft makes three quarters of IPAB quotas paid by multiple-banking institutions non-deductible for the next fiscal year.
  • Finance Secretary Édgar Amador framed the measure as international harmonization and said he has been in talks with commercial banks.
  • Tax chief Antonio Martínez estimated the rule would yield about 10,000 million pesos per year.
  • The package also proposes requiring crowdfunding platforms to withhold and remit income tax and value-added tax on transactions they intermediate.
  • The proposal is now before the Chamber of Deputies for discussion, while columnists warn of potential higher borrowing costs and note IPAB’s limited coverage and fund size.
