Sheinbaum Plans Reforms to Curb Fake Invoicing, Rejects ISR Increase for Now

The president said a reform package targeting so‑called factureros will be presented in the coming months, with technical adjustments to follow in next year’s miscelánea fiscal. She stated there is no plan at this time to raise income tax rates and argued the crackdown would yield more revenue than an ISR hike. Issuing or using false invoices has been a serious crime since 2019 under the Código Fiscal de la Federación, carrying penalties of up to nine years in prison. Citing recent results, the government reported an 8.4% real increase in federal revenues through August 20 and about 180 billion pesos in additional intake from customs reforms between last year and this year. After discussion of broader changes, Morena leader Ricardo Monreal said a fiscal overhaul is not on the near‑term legislative agenda.
