The SAT, or Tax Administration Service, is the entity responsible for managing tax collection in Mexico and ensuring compliance with tax laws.
Its role extends beyond collecting funds for the government; it also provides information and guidance to taxpayers to ensure that they meet their tax obligations correctly and on time.
Taxes play a crucial role in the country’s development, as they fund a wide range of public services, including education, health, security, justice, public works, poverty alleviation, and support for various economic sectors.
The SAT also plays an essential role in combating smuggling and the informal economy, contributing to the efficiency of tax administration. However, understanding its operation can be a daunting challenge for many citizens and businesses.
