Fewer declarations, more facilities

The Tax Administration Service received fewer tax returns from individuals this year. The reason: facilities granted to small taxpayers of the Simplified Trust Regime (Resico).

Gari Flores, General Administrator of Collection of the SAT, explained it at a press conference organized by the Mexican Institute of Public Accountants.

“Indeed, this year fewer declarations were submitted; those who are in Resico were given the option of not submitting the declaration starting this year.”

Flores acknowledged that this impact was “very important in the number of statements.” Another reason: decrease in complementary statements. “If we analyze the number of these compared to last year, it is the strongest decrease that we have,” he highlighted. Now taxpayers file their return only once.

Returns on the rise

Although the SAT expected more than 11 million declarations for fiscal year 2025, in May it reported 10,783,158. Of them, 7.9 million with a favorable balance. At the end of last week, 5.6 million requested a refund, with a restored amount of 44 billion pesos, higher than the 31,870 million reported in May.

Flores clarified that the balance in favor depends on the economic situation of each year. He denied that the SAT withholds returns due to inconsistencies in CLABE accounts. “In no way does the SAT act arbitrarily; we have other data,” he stated. The main reason: some taxpayers changed banks and it is necessary to verify.

In short, fewer statements but simpler and with record returns.

Mobile line registration: myths and realities

The process of mandatory linking of telephone lines advances amid concerns about the handling of personal data. The Government of Mexico categorically denies the existence of a centralized national registry.

The strategy, which began on January 9, 2026, seeks to reduce telephone extortion. The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (CRT) and the Digital Transformation Agency clarify that the State does not directly collect confidential information.

Each telephone company —Telcel, Movistar, AT&T, Bait, Altán Redes, Izzi Móvil, Mega Móvil and Unefon— is solely responsible for safeguarding the data in their private systems.

Citizen distrust in the face of security failures

Despite official campaigns, resistance to the procedure persists. Users fear leaks of sensitive data such as CURP. This distrust is intensified by technical reports that indicate that errors and the leak of personal data affected the first mass registration attempt in Mexico. A vulnerability in the Telcel platform exposed names, CURP, RFC, dates of birth and emails without authentication.

Faced with these incidents, a large sector refuses to provide their data, even if the omission implies the loss of connectivity.

Authorities confirm that no biometric data, photographs or fingerprints are requested. In cases where platforms request “proof of life” through temporary facial recognition, said record is not stored and is automatically deleted at the end of the process. The requirement is only CURP and a valid official identification with a photo for Mexicans; Foreigners can use a passport or temporary CURP.

The CRT establishes a digital and in-person procedure before June 30, 2026, without official extension. The steps are:

• Enter the official portal (portal.crt.gob.mx/gestion-de-lineas-telefonicas-moviles) or the operator’s site via SMS.
• Capture full name and CURP (or RFC for legal entities).
• Complete digital authentication by uploading the requested documents.
• Save the confirmation sheet.

The system allows a maximum of 3 attempts; If they are out of stock, the user must go in person to a Customer Service Center.

Since February 7, 2026, the consultation site (portal.crt.gob.mx/plataformas-de-consulta) has been active to verify numbers associated with each identity. Lines not linked before July 1 will be suspended, allowing only calls to emergencies or to the operator’s service center.

Historical increase in assurances

The Attorney General’s Office (FGR) reported a significant increase in the fight against piracy. From January to the first week of June 2026, it secured 36 times more counterfeit products than in the same period of the previous year.

The data corresponds to the Special Prosecutor’s Office for Investigation of Crimes against Copyright and Industrial Property (FEIDCDP). In 2025, 259,107 items were seized. In 2026, the figure reached 9 million 317 thousand 464, which represents an increase of 3,500%.

In addition, the FGR has completed five of the six arrest warrants requested by federal judges. The Public Ministry of the Federation accumulates 11 links to proceedings for the introduction, distribution or sale of “pirated” products.

Within the framework of the World Day against Counterfeiting and Piracy, the agency stressed that these crimes not only affect companies, but also put people’s health and safety at risk.

The FEIDCDP maintains coordinated actions with authorities from the three levels of government, the entertainment industry and the Cyber ​​Police to investigate and combat these illegal practices.
