Mexico’s Supreme Court Tosses Grupo Salinas Appeals, Affirms Multi‑Billion‑Peso Tax Liabilities

Unanimous procedural dismissals now allow tax authorities to compute updated liabilities for collection.

Overview

  • The Plenary unanimously rejected several amparos, leaving firm a 33,306,476,349‑peso credit against Elektra tied to 2013 income tax.
  • Additional decisions keep in place lower‑court rulings across Elektra, TV Azteca and affiliates that together implicate roughly 48 billion pesos for tax periods mainly from 2008 to 2015.
  • Ministers concluded the cases lacked exceptional constitutional questions and relied on existing precedents, with a key project authored by Minister Arístides Guerrero.
  • The Court denied last‑minute impediments and imposed monetary sanctions for dilatory tactics after a wave of filings aimed at postponing resolution.
  • Grupo Salinas denounced the outcome as politicized and said it will seek remedies in other forums as SAT and Hacienda move to determine updated amounts and proceed with collection.
