Mexico’s Tax Authority Reaffirms Tandas Will Not Be Targeted for Fiscalization

The agency says these informal savings pools fall outside auditing because contributions typically come from income that has already paid income tax.

Overview

  • SAT issued a fresh statement confirming that tandas are not and will not be an object of fiscal oversight or surveillance.
  • The authority said there is no program or subprogram to audit or monitor these savings practices.
  • Administrator Gari Flores Hernández earlier rejected rumors of a “tanda tax,” noting the funds generally originate from income already taxed under ISR.
  • The SAT said reports alleging fiscal measures lack legal basis and aim to alarm the public, urging people to consult official channels.
  • Given the prevalence of informal saving—ENIF reports 88% of savers use methods like tandas—Condusef shared guidance on budgeting, tracking daily expenses, and prioritizing high-interest debt.
