Quintana Roo Grants Tax Breaks to Mototaxi Operators

Quintana Roo — The state Finance and Planning Department (Sefiplan) has approved tax incentives on vehicle ownership payments for motocarro and mototaxi operators, aiming to make it easier for them to register their vehicles legally and to protect a key source of income for low-income families.

The agreement creates a preferential scheme for owners of these public passenger transport units in municipalities and communities with lower economic development, alongside a general regime that applies across the entire state.

The measure offers discounts of up to 100 percent on the Vehicle Use or Ownership Tax and related charges, covering tax years accumulated from 2022 through 2026. The benefit cannot be extended beyond its Dec. 20, 2026 deadline.

Department officials said the mototaxi sector is an essential economic lifeline for many low-income families in the region. They said regularization through the State Vehicle Registry and the State Tax Administration Service (SATQ) will help close long-standing inequality gaps, give operators legal certainty and strengthen local mobility in both urban and rural areas.

The program includes specific administrative accommodations and accessible payment windows so taxpayers can catch up on their obligations without jeopardizing their day-to-day finances, officials said.

Concession holders and other interested parties can make inquiries and complete regularization procedures directly at tax collection offices or through the state government’s official digital portals, which the department said will speed up the issuance of certificates and license plates.
