Mexico’s Supreme Court Rejects Elektra and TV Azteca Bid to Pause Seven Tax Cases Worth Over 33 Billion Pesos

The ruling keeps the cases moving toward decisions that could trigger SAT enforcement.

Overview

  • SCJN President Hugo Aguilar denied the suspension request, stating there is no legal basis to delay the issuance of judgments in the seven amparos.
  • The pending cases involve five matters tied to Grupo Elektra and two to TV Azteca, with disputed credits totaling roughly 33,477 million pesos.
  • Grupo Salinas sought a pause while authorities weighed an October 16 letter proposing payment scenarios of about 5,691 million or 8,964 million pesos, but the federal fiscal prosecutor said it will not answer the offer.
  • The Court also dismissed a bid to recuse its nine justices over alleged bias, closing another avenue the companies pursued to slow the proceedings.
  • Hearings have not been scheduled, lower courts have already upheld SAT determinations, and adverse Supreme Court rulings could allow SAT to execute collection if the companies do not pay voluntarily.
