| In order to promote investment, encourage economic growth, and the creation of formal jobs in the peninsular region of the Yucatan (where the Mayan Train will pass through) the Mexican Ministry of Treasury (SHCP by its acronym in Spanish) issued a Decree on June 28, 2024 that grants tax incentives and administrative facilities to taxpayers that invest and develop certain productive economic activities within the “Progreso I” and “Merida I” Industrial Parks located in the municipalities of Progreso and Merida in the State of Yucatan, Mexico (the Decree). The taxpayers that will benefit from the Decree are those that carry out the following economic activities: (i) electrical and electronics; (ii) semiconductors; (iii) automotive (electromobility); (iv) autoparts and equipment for transportation; (v) medical devices; (vi) pharmaceutical; (vii) agroindustry; (viii) electric power generation and distribution equipment; (ix) technical and information technology; and (x) metals and petrochemicals. The Decree allows for the following tax incentives: 1. A 100% tax credit of the income tax generated during the first three fiscal years. 2. An additional tax credit for the three fiscal years following the initial three, which could be 50% and up to 90% of the income tax incurred, if the minimum employment levels established in the guidelines issued by the SHCP are exceeded. 3. The immediate 100% deduction of new fixed assets within the first six years, whenever they are used to carry out the above economic activities (not including furniture, office equipment, cars, armored equipment or non-individually identifiable fixed assets). 4. A 100% tax credit of the VAT originated by the sale of assets, provision of services, and/or granting of use or temporary possession of assets made between taxpayers inside the Progreso I and Merida I Industrial Parks in the State of Yucatan. The tax credit will be for four years. The tax benefits of the Decree are not applicable to taxpayers that already benefit from tax incentives such as: the maquila regimes; the optional integration regime for corporate groups; trusts dedicated to the acquisition or construction of real estate (FIBRAS); film production and distribution activities and Mexican national theater, visual arts, dance, music; research and development of technology; and high performance sports. The SHCP will issue guidelines for the application of the incentives of the Decree that will outline a series of requirements that must be complied with by the taxpayer. These include being current with their tax liabilities, having their tax domicile in the Progreso I and Merida I Industrial Parks in Yucatan, and proving that their economic activities are performed in the zones of the Decree, among others. 番茄社区; Lardner Mexico’s tax practice advises national and multinational companies from different industrial sectors in the application of various tax incentives in Mexico. | Con la finalidad de atraer inversi贸n e impulsar el crecimiento econ贸mico as铆 como la creaci贸n de empleos formales en la zona peninsular de Yucat谩n por la que transitar谩 el Tren Maya, el 28 de junio la Secretaria de Hacienda y Cr茅dito P煤blico (鈥淪HCP鈥) public贸 un decreto por medio del cual se otorgan est铆mulos fiscales y facilidades administrativas a los contribuyentes que realicen ciertas actividades econ贸micas productivas al interior de los Polos Industriales del Bienestar 鈥淧rogreso I鈥 y 鈥淢茅rida I鈥 que se ubican en los municipios de Progreso y M茅rida en Yucat谩n (el 鈥淒ecreto鈥).
