Overview
- President Claudia Sheinbaum sent an initiative to let taxpayers freely choose among legally available modalities to guarantee fiscal interest, eliminating the mandatory order and the requirement to document inability to pay in cash.
- The proposal preserves the duty to secure fiscal interest, keeping the rule that guarantees must cover the original debt plus fines and surcharges calculated for the next 12 months.
- The initiative was referred to the Finance and Public Credit Commission for analysis, and its chair, Carol Antonio Altamirano, said a committee ruling could be approved next week.
- Current Article 141 imposes a six‑step, cash‑first scheme that has pressured liquidity, including a recent requirement for deposit tickets at Banco del Bienestar.
- Morena deputy Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar endorsed the reform, saying it will reduce administrative burden and indirect fiscal pressure while improving legal certainty for investment.
