Learn 8 basic points about tax discrepancy in individuals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The article states that individuals may be subject to a tax discrepancy procedure when it is found that the amount of expenditures in a given year exceeds the income they have declared or should have declared. These expenses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that if an individual, for example, has a lifestyle, level of spending, or makes investments that do not seem to correspond with their declared income, the SAT (Mexico's tax authority) may initiate a review to assess whether there is undeclared or under-reported income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article establishes that if expenditures are not properly justified, they are presumed to be taxable income. This is especially relevant for those who:<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if a person has significant bank deposits or purchases expensive goods without having declared income to justify such purchases, those expenditures will be treated as if they came from undeclared income, and the corresponding tax will be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article also sets forth important exceptions. The following deposits will not be considered expenditures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These cases will not be considered taxable income, provided the taxpayer can demonstrate their nature. This provides some flexibility, but the burden is on the taxpayer to provide relevant evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unexplained income derived from this procedure will be considered as omitted income. This means that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To determine the amount of expenditures, the SAT may use any information at its disposal, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This provision grants broad authority to tax authorities to collect and use information regarding the taxpayer's financial operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The article specifies a procedure that grants certain rights to the taxpayer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This process ensures that the taxpayer has the opportunity to defend themselves and provide evidence before the tax authorities conclude that there was undeclared income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If, after the analysis, it is determined that there was indeed omitted income, the tax authorities will issue an assessment based on the rates in Article 152 of the Income Tax Law (ISR), which establishes the applicable percentages for calculating the annual income tax for individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This article is a crucial tool for the SAT to detect inconsistencies between declared income and the lifestyle or expenses of individuals. It promotes transparency in tax returns, discouraging taxpayers from under-reporting income or failing to meet their tax obligations. At the same time, it sets up a formal defense process for taxpayers who can justify the origin of the resources used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The tax discrepancy procedure is particularly relevant in cases where there is an obvious mismatch between income and expenditures (such as in cases of tax evasion), but it may also raise concerns among honest taxpayers who do not keep strict control of their personal finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In summary, Article 91 is a powerful tool for the SAT to combat tax evasion, but it also requires that taxpayers maintain detailed records of their expenses and income, especially when making significant or unusual expenditures.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn 8 basic points about tax discrepancy in individuals The article states that individuals may be subject to a tax discrepancy procedure when it is found that the amount of expenditures in a given year exceeds the income they have declared or should have declared.
