SAT Regularization Program Recovers 6.4 Billion Pesos and Could Be Renewed for 2027

SAT officials say the combo of steep discounts and new audit powers has raised short-term revenue and could lead to a proposal to extend the scheme next year.

Overview

  • The SAT said Monday the Programa de Regularización Fiscal 2026 has generated about 6,436 million pesos and benefited roughly 38,399 taxpayers.
  • The program offers reductions of up to 100% on fines, surcharges and enforcement costs for debts from fiscal year 2024 or earlier, with the income eligibility cap raised this year from 35 million to 300 million pesos.
  • Taxpayers with determined fiscal credits have until October 31 to apply and those with pending filings or under audit can apply until December 31, 2026; some remaining balances may be paid in installments in qualified cases.
  • Late-2025 changes to the tax code gave the SAT sharper tools — such as express audits, publication of blacklists and tougher proof requirements — to target fake-invoicing schemes while the agency says audit recoveries should strengthen toward year-end.
  • SAT managers are evaluating a 2027 continuation or expansion but any renewal must be proposed by the executive through the finance ministry and approved by Congress as part of next year’s revenue package.
