Why Mexico?
Nearshoring and contract manufacturers
USMCA delivers tariff free access to US and Canada from Mexican production. The IMMEX programme defers VAT and import duties on inputs used in exports, and the maquila safe harbour gives contract manufacturers predictable transfer pricing treatment. Tesla Monterrey anchors the current wave.
Founders building for the LatAm consumer
130M Spanish speaking consumers with growing card and digital wallet penetration. S.A. de C.V. or S.A.P.I. de C.V. (the VC friendly variant) are the standard vehicles. 30% federal CIT with no state CIT keeps the headline rate predictable across the country.
US adjacent operations seeking real substance
Mexican operations satisfy economic substance tests for Pillar Two and CFC analyses far better than tax haven structures. Time zone overlap with US clients is total, and bilingual talent is abundant in Monterrey, Guadalajara and CDMX.
Considerations
If you license IP or pay heavy royalties
Mexico applies 35% withholding tax on royalties to non residents, a punishing rate for IP licensing structures. The CFC regime (REFIPRE) triggers when foreign income is taxed below 22.5%, capturing many holdco arrangements.
If you want minimal local substance
Mexico requires RFC registration with SAT, notarised acta constitutiva, and meaningful local director presence for banking. Cartel related due diligence on banking and KYC has tightened materially since 2024.
