Tax attorney for businesses in Mexico

A tax strategy built on the case file

The first step is to identify what is being questioned: a transaction, a deduction, VAT crediting, a refund or compliance with an obligation. We review the authority's notice, its service and the background to establish the actual procedural stage. An effective response must distinguish facts that can be proved from legal interpretations that need to be challenged.

We work with the client's accounting and operational records to build a coherent case file. Contracts, invoices, payments and evidence of performance must explain the same transaction. Coordination with the people responsible for those records helps identify missing material, answer information requests and prevent different departments from giving inconsistent accounts of the same event.

That analysis allows us to assess response, regularization and defense options. We explain the objective of each route, the information it requires and its potential effect on the business. The decision considers the cost of pursuing the dispute alongside the consequences of accepting an observation, without promising outcomes or reducing the matter to a single figure.

Representation before tax authorities and courts

Our practice covers SAT audits, tax assessment disputes, refunds, social security and foreign trade transactions. Each procedure calls for its own strategy: responding to an observations notice during an audit is different from challenging a final decision. Legal work must address the specific act and the taxpayer's current position in the proceedings, with the underlying records ready for review.

When litigation is required, we assess the administrative appeals, administrative court proceedings and Amparo actions that may be available. We review the requirements for each remedy, the evidence and the effects of interim measures. The merits of the defense and protection of business continuity are considered together, although they may require separate procedural steps and different supporting documents.

We have offices in Mexico City and Ciudad Juárez. For an initial review, gather the decision or request received, proof of service and records of the transaction being questioned. This information helps define the issue and identify next steps from the case file, rather than relying on a general description of the dispute or an isolated account of events.
