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.
