In Mexico, buying fake invoices to evade taxes is a serious crime that can lead to jail time. Issuing, selling or using tax receipts for non-existent transactions is considered Tax evasion and organized crime, with penalties of up to 13 years in prison, million-dollar fines and cancellation of digital stamps.

SAT and sanctions

The SAT has strengthened measures to detect and sanction those who participate in these practices, freezing accounts and seizing assets. Since 2020, those who buy fake invoices face the same sanctions as those who issue them.

How to avoid tax problems

To avoid risks:

  • Verify that your suppliers are registered in the Federal Taxpayers Registry (RFC).
  • Check the SAT blacklists.
  • Maintain transparent accounting with professional tax advice.

Conclusion

Avoiding taxes with fake invoices may seem attractive, but the consequences are severe. Fulfill your tax obligations honestly. If you have any questions on this subject, do not hesitate to send us a message.
