Mexico’s 2026 Budget Plan Targets Tax Evasion, Not Higher Rates

Morena leaders say the proposal relies on enforcement to lift revenues rather than new taxes.

Overview

  • Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar said the package aims to plug major tax‑evasion gaps, focusing on false invoicing and tighter customs controls.
  • The plan includes reviewing the Código Fiscal and IVA rules to curb facturación falsa that officials say harms public finances.
  • President Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to submit the Paquete Económico 2026 to the Chamber of Deputies on September 8.
  • Morena is seeking close to one trillion pesos for social programs to bolster household incomes in 2026.
  • Officials pledge more infrastructure investment without new public borrowing, maintain deficit‑reduction commitments, and encourage private sector participation toward a longer‑term investment goal.
