  • Many nonresidents of Mexico have never paid any taxes on their rental income from properties they own in Mexico.  This is against Mexican tax law.  The Mexico tax code clearly states that these Mexican taxes must be paid on rental income from apartments, houses, and commercial property. Failure to do so can result (and has resulted ) in substantial penalties and legal problems with the Mexican tax authorities.
 
            It is now easy to pay these taxes and avoid problems  even if you or your foreign non-resident clients do not have a Mexican tax identification number (RFC).   The Settlement Company® has developed a simple and easy procedure which will allow you to be tax compliant on rental income. You do not have to suffer the consequences of failing to pay. Email us now to learn more and to get started. rentaltaxmexico@settlement-co.com

The Good News:  The IVA you pay in Mexico is deductible on your US tax return and the income taxes you pay in Mexico can offset your US  taxes on the same income dollar for dollar.  You will not be double taxes.
 
*IVA is paid by tenant but collected and declared by owner.  Applies to furnished residential properties only.

US Income taxes must also be paid and a tax return filed with the IRS on your Mexican rental property. You can deduct IVA and you can take a tax credit for Mexican Income taxes.  If you rental property is owned by a Mexican Corporation, there are certain US tax elections which must be made to avoid double taxation of the rental income and double taxation of the gain on the sale of the property.  Visit our website at www.taxmeless.com or email us at US TAX EXPERT ON MEXICO REAL ESTATE ATTORNEYto learn more.
