Overview
- Mexico’s high court dismissed seven appeals from Grupo Salinas, leaving lower-court and SAT decisions final in long-running cases tied to fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.
- The tax authority must now compute the final amount due, including fines, surcharges and updates, before the Finance Ministry outlines execution steps.
- Officials and reporting cite a claimed liability above 48 billion pesos, while the precise payable figure will be determined through SAT’s calculation.
- Sheinbaum emphasized that taxpayers who pay can obtain benefits under the Fiscal Code, whereas nonpayment escalates penalties and can lead to legal enforcement.
- Ricardo Salinas Pliego has vowed to continue contesting the outcome publicly, as the presidency frames the process as adherence to law and judicial independence.
