Binational Services: Mexico – United States

Binational Services: Mexico – United States

When a company sells, buys, invests or has employees in both Mexico and the United States, each country expects its share of taxes. Without someone coordinating both sets of books, it is easy to pay twice on the same income or to face an audit on either side of the border.

Maya Contadores handles the Mexican side from our offices in Tampico, Monterrey and Querétaro, and the US side through our Houston affiliate, MABE International Advisors. One bilingual team sees your entire operation.

Who we work with

  • US and foreign companies opening operations in Mexico.
  • Mexican subsidiaries that report to a parent company abroad.
  • Manufacturers and maquiladoras that export to the United States.
  • Mexican companies expanding into the United States.
  • Owners and executives with income in both countries.

What a foreign company should know about Mexico

  • SAT: Mexico’s federal tax authority, where companies register, file and pay their taxes.
  • RFC: the taxpayer ID every company in Mexico needs before it can invoice, hire or open bank accounts.
  • e.firma: the company’s electronic signature, used to file returns and sign documents before the SAT.
  • CFDI: the electronic invoices required for every sale, purchase and payroll payment.
  • IMMEX: the program that allows manufacturers and exporters to import goods temporarily.

Requirements, rates and deadlines depend on your structure and activity. In the first consultation we review which ones apply to you.
