Deputies Approve Tax Code Overhaul Granting SAT Real-Time Access to Digital Platforms

The measure seeks to curb tax evasion and false invoicing by obligating platforms to share operational records starting April 1, 2026.

Overview

  • The Chamber of Deputies passed the reform and sent it to the Senate after votes of 348–130 in general and 335–122 in particular.
  • A new Article 30-B would require digital service providers to grant permanent, online access limited to information necessary to verify tax compliance.
  • Noncompliance could lead to temporary blocking of platforms in Mexico and sanctions including denial of RFC registration and suspension or cancellation of digital seals.
  • Transitory provisions set April 1, 2026 as the start date and direct the SAT to issue technical and security rules and to coordinate with the ATDT on data handling.
  • Industry groups and opposition lawmakers warn of privacy and due process risks, while proponents say the rules target evasion across streaming, marketplaces and dating apps.
