Mexico’s Tax Authority Formally Notifies Grupo Salinas to Pay 51 Billion Pesos After Court Rulings

Issued after Supreme Court validation, the notice triggers timelines that allow voluntary reductions alongside installment payments.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum said the demand is a legal requirement from the SAT validated by the Supreme Court and rejected claims of political persecution.
  • The formal notice starts statutory deadlines, and the Fiscal Code permits requesting up to a 39% reduction for voluntary payment as well as installment plans.
  • Ricardo Salinas Pliego and Grupo Salinas took their complaint to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, alleging coordinated fiscal, judicial and administrative harassment.
  • Salinas Pliego publicly dismissed the government’s position on social media and vowed not to yield after the notification of the 51,000 million pesos liability.
  • The liabilities largely stem from ISR assessments for 2008–2013 under the former consolidation regime, with SCJN decisions rejecting recent amparos and a separate ruling for about 67 million pesos.
