Mexican taxes are one of the most misunderstood parts of owning property or doing business in Puerto Vallarta. Grupo Nar’s tax practice helps foreign owners understand exactly what they owe, structure transactions efficiently, and stay compliant with SAT (the Mexican tax authority).
Tax matters we handle
- Property acquisition tax: the transfer tax due at closing, calculated and paid through the Notary Public
- Annual property tax (predial): registration, payments, and early-payment discounts
- Capital gains (ISR) on sale: planning ahead to legally reduce the tax when you sell — residency status, primary-residence exemptions, and deductible improvements all matter
- Rental income tax: compliance for Airbnb and long-term rentals owned by foreigners
- Tax residency analysis: what becoming a Mexican tax resident means for your worldwide income
Plan before you buy — and before you sell
The biggest tax mistakes happen at the deed. How your purchase is recorded — the declared value, who appears as owner, your immigration status — determines the capital gains bill years later when you sell. Start with our guide to Mexican property taxes for foreign buyers, then talk to us before you sign.
