Mexican Tax Desk

As the largest exporting nation in Latin America and one of the largest economies in the world, Mexico is an important production location for many German and European companies for the North American economic area, especially attracted in the automotive, plant and machinery, infrastructure and energy sectors, as well as distribution location for the entire US and Latin American market.

Our Mexican Tax Desk team has many years of experience in providing comprehensive legal and tax advice to Mexican companies doing business in Germany ("inbound" activities) and, vice versa, legal and tax advice to German companies doing business in Mexico ("outbound" activities). Our advisors have excellent German and Spanish language skills and are very familiar with the tax jurisdictions in Germany and Mexico as well as with the differences in mentality between of both countries.

• Legal and tax advice on the appropriate legal or organizational form (subsidiary, permanent establishment or other legal forms)
• Assistance regarding the tax registration of subsidiaries and permanent establishments in Mexico
• Advice on all income tax and VAT issues arising from current business operations, as well as on all tax matters (i.e. tax residency, withholding tax and permanent establishments) under Mexican and international tax law
• Advice on issues related to the Mexican "anti-deferral" regime (CFC regulations) and information exchange regimes in the Mexican context
• Tax advice on restructuring projects and M&A transactions (i.e. mergers and "spin-offs")
