SAT highlights actions of the first 2 years of government

The Tax Administration Service (SAT) highlighted that during the first two years of the current administration Article 28 of the Constitution was modified to prohibit the forgiveness of taxes, since 413,000 million pesos were forgiven during the two previous administrations.

In matters of foreign trade, customs procedures in Mexico are governed by the Customs Law and its Regulations, by the General Rules of Foreign Trade, published every year by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), and by an Agreement of the Ministry of Economy (SE).
