| How are VAT returns submitted to the tax authorities? | VAT returns in Mexico must be filed electronically through 'MyPortal' on the SAT website (at www.sat.gob.mx/empresas), using either the taxpayer's RFC number (tax ID number) and password, or the electronic tax signature (ETS) of the taxpayer. Returns must include details of all transactions on which VAT has been charged (output VAT) and all the expenses paid (input VAT) and any VAT withholdings during the monthly period. From February 2024, VAT returns are automatically pre-populated with the information from electronic invoices.
