Quintana Roo Business Group Urges Taxpayers to Prepare for 2027 Fiscal Changes

Cancún, Quintana Roo — The head of a Quintana Roo business group is urging taxpayers to study and train for the tax changes proposed for 2027, warning that staying informed will be key to avoiding problems with Mexico’s tax authority.

Marcos Gutiérrez Martínez, president of Empresarios por Quintana Roo, called on taxpayers to inform themselves and prepare for the shifts ahead, saying revenue authorities are pursuing a strategy to strengthen collection. He said it is important for individuals and companies to understand the new provisions and keep their fiscal obligations in order.

Mexico’s 2027 Economic Package was delivered to Congress on Sept. 8 and is currently under legislative review. The proposal includes measures to strengthen tax revenue, combat evasion and simplify some processes for micro and small businesses.

Business Group Calls for Early Preparation

Gutiérrez Martínez said that although the proposals could still be modified during the legislative process, taxpayers should begin preparing now. Information and specialized advice, he said, can help reduce risks and prevent problems with the tax office.

“We have to document ourselves, train and stay alert to the changes,” the business leader said, adding that timely compliance will be essential in the fiscal landscape of the coming months.

He also highlighted regularization programs that allow certain taxpayers to reduce fines and surcharges when they meet established requirements.

SAT Offers Regularization Programs

The SAT, Mexico’s Tax Administration Service, is maintaining a 2026 Fiscal Regularization Program that provides reductions of up to 100 percent on fines, surcharges and execution costs for taxpayers who meet the conditions. The program applies to certain debts and sets specific requirements for each case.

The agency also offers mechanisms to request reduced fines and to pay tax debts in installments or through deferred payments.

Gutiérrez Martínez described these tools as an alternative for those with outstanding debts, while stressing the need to stay informed about current rules.

Concerns Over Pressure on Formal Taxpayers

The Empresarios por Quintana Roo president lamented that, in his view, the collection strategy focuses mainly on taxpayers already within the formal system. He said authorities should also work to broaden the taxpayer base and address the growth of the informal economy.

His position comes as the federal government proposes measures for 2027 aimed at strengthening collection and combating tax evasion. The Treasury estimates tax revenues will reach a historic high equal to 15.9 percent of GDP.

The Presidency has said the package does not include new taxes and that the measures are intended to combat evasion and the operations of invoice-fabricating companies.

Business Group Launches Training Courses

Gutiérrez Martínez recommended that taxpayers stay current with their obligations and review the alternatives available if they have debts.

He said Empresarios por Quintana Roo has already begun a series of tax training courses for its members, with the goal of giving them tools to face the changes and comply with tax rules.

The business leader insisted that knowing one’s obligations, keeping proper documentation and seeking specialized advice will be important to avoid fiscal contingencies during 2027.
