To avoid double taxation, the United States and Mexico have a tax treaty in place. The treaty avoids double taxation by allowing tax credits or exemptions for income taxed in both countries.
When conducting business in both the United States and Mexico, there are several tax implications to consider.
United States:
- Corporate Income Tax: The United States imposes federal corporate income tax on profits earned by corporations. The tax rate is progressive, with different brackets based on the company's taxable income. In addition to federal taxes, states also levy their own corporate income taxes, which vary by jurisdiction.
- State and Local Taxes: Apart from federal taxes, businesses operating in the United States may also be subject to state and local taxes, such as sales tax, property tax, payroll tax, and gross receipts tax. These taxes vary by state and locality.
- Employee Taxes: Employers in the United States are responsible for withholding payroll taxes from employee wages, including federal income tax, Social Security tax, and Medicare tax. The employer is also required to contribute a matching amount for Social Security and Medicare taxes.
- Sales Tax: The U.S. has a sales tax system, and the tax rate varies by state and locality. Businesses are generally required to collect sales tax on taxable goods and services sold to customers.
Mexico:
- Corporate Income Tax: In Mexico, businesses are subject to corporate income tax on their worldwide income. The tax rate is generally a flat rate of 30%. However, there are different rates for certain industries and regions.
- Value Added Tax (VAT): Mexico has a value-added tax system. Most goods and services are subject to VAT at a standard rate of 16%. However, certain items may be taxed at a reduced rate or exempted. Businesses are required to collect and remit VAT to the Mexican tax authorities.
- Payroll Taxes: Employers in Mexico are responsible for withholding payroll taxes from employee salaries, including income tax and social security contributions. The employer is also required to contribute a matching amount for social security.
- Other Taxes: Mexico also imposes other taxes such as the Asset Tax, which is a tax on certain assets owned by companies, and the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS), which applies to specific goods and services.
You need to know the tax duties, required reports, and procedures in the United States and Mexico to handle taxes when doing business there. We at IRBusiness recommend everything applicable to your case to ensure accurate compliance and optimization of your tax strategy
