Accounting records in electronic media
Injunction - Amparo
Implementation of the requirement to submit electronic accounting records continues to be a challenge for Mexican taxpayers, both from an accounting and from an information technology capability perspective.
However, it is important to note that the electronic reporting requirement currently is being challenged through the court system – Mexico’s Supreme Court issued a decision on 26
November that temporarily suspends the requirement for taxpayers that have challenged the requirement on the grounds that it violates the Mexican constitution, and the decision must be applied by all courts in Mexico.
The suspension will be in effect until the Supreme Court decides whether the new obligation violates the constitution. Taxpayers that have not yet challenged the obligation can do so and obtain a suspension of the obligation once they havecomplied with the first reporting deadline (and continue filing not to jeopardize the Certification)
