Tax attorneys in Mexico

A lawyer specialized in tax law advises and represents individuals and businesses in matters governed by this area of law. In practical terms, it is a matter of concurrent jurisdiction: federal and state rules coexist depending on the case. Matters are resolved mainly before administrative bodies and courts. The central applicable rule is the Federal Tax Code (Código Fiscal de la Federación).

The main applicable provisions are: the Federal Tax Code (Codigo Fiscal de la Federacion); the Income Tax Law; the Value Added Tax Law; the Special Tax on Production and Services Law; the Federal Law of Administrative Contentious Procedure; the Federal Law of Taxpayers' Rights; the tax codes and revenue laws of each state and municipality; the Amparo Law (Ley de Amparo). A lawyer experienced in this area interprets how these rules combine in your specific case and which judicial criteria are relevant.

Yes. In tax law matters it is common to resort to the amparo (constitutional-rights) lawsuit, governed by the Ley de Amparo (Amparo Law), when an act of authority violates fundamental rights or unconstitutional rules are applied. The amparo has strict deadlines (as a general rule 15 business days), so it is best to act quickly.

Fees are agreed as a retainer for ongoing advice, per project for planning, or per matter in litigation, sometimes with a component based on the amount saved or the assessment canceled. Amparos against tax laws are usually charged per event. Be wary of schemes 'to avoid paying taxes' based on invoicing nonexistent transactions: they are a crime and trigger article 69-B.
