As previously mentioned, as of June 1, the corresponding collection of income over 5 thousand pesos generated through digital platforms will begin to be made within the following items,
- Hosting
Example: Airbnb, Vrbo and alike - Alienation of goods or provision of services
Example: Amazon, Mercadolibre, Upwork, Aliada, and alike. - Ground transportation or delivery of goods
Example: Uber, Uber Eats, Rappi, and alike
With this reform, digital platforms will not be exempt from tax payments related to the income generated by the services performed by the service provider .
Therefore, it seems appropriate to review for you ‘ the fine print ‘ of said reform,
The tax treatment of withholdings is declared through specific legislation independent of the regime where natural persons are taxed, through
- 12 Monthly Declarations, and
- 1 Annual Declaration
For analysis, we separate it by tax:
VAT
The VAT withholding will be for 50% of the transferred tax (that is, 8% of the Value Added Tax) regardless of the amount of the operation. However, when the natural person does not provide RFC, the withholding must be made at 100% of the transferred tax.
In case the monthly withholdings, provisional payments, wish to be taken as definitive, it is necessary to consult the restrictions that this requires, among some:
- The nature of the ventures of the taxpayer’s income perception
- The maximum amount of income captured by these activities, 300 thousand pesos per year.
- The ability to deduct expenses on an annual return is lost.
Income Tax (ISR)
La tasa de retención aplica sobre el ingreso mensual (sin considerar al IVA como parte del ingreso) en apego a los tabuladores descritos en el artículo 113-A de la Ley del ISR, sin embargo, sino se proporciona el RFC, la retención será del 20%.
Withholding rate by item and amount of income
| Monthly Income Amount | Retention rate |
| Up to $ 5,500 | 2% |
| Up to $ 15,500 | 3% |
| Up to $21,000 | 4% |
| More than $21,000 | 8% |
| Monthly Income Amount | Retention rate |
| Up to $5,000 | 2% |
| Up to $15,000 | 3% |
| Up to $35,000 | 5% |
| More than $35,000 | 10% |
| Monthly Income Amount | Retention rate |
| Up to $1,500 | 0.4% |
| Up to $5,000 | 0.5% |
| Up to $10,000 | 0.9% |
| Up to $25,000 | 1.1% |
| Up to $100,000 | 2.0% |
| More than $100,000 | 5.4% |
In the same way that in the VAT it will be possible to take these monthly withholdings of the ISR as final payments under a series of requirements established in Article 113-B of the ISR Law among which they appear again,
- The nature of the ventures of the taxpayer’s income perception
- The maximum amount of income captured by these activities, 300 thousand pesos per year.
- The ability to deduct expenses on an annual return is lost.
Remember, you must present the notice (the processing sheet 71 / CFF) when you stop using the technology platform.
