Taxes

You will pay two taxes when you buy a home in Mexico. The first is the Acquisition Tax (ISABI), 2% of the total registered purchase price. Typically, notaries calculate the tax to be 2.1% to allow for peso/dollar exchange rate variances. This tax is paid upon purchase and becomes part of your Cost Basis, making it fully deductible if you decide to sell your property.

The second tax is Property Tax (PREDIAL), which is very low in Mexico. Property Tax is not based on the purchase price; it is based on the property tax value assigned to the area in which the property is located and the size of the property.

If you are selling your home, the Notary will calculate the Seller’s capital gains tax based on the purchase price, in Mexican Pesos, at the time of acquisition. This information is indicated on the title deed. The Notary then adds to the Seller’s original purchase price the cost of any construction or remodel (original facturas/receipts required) and the closing costs the Seller paid at the time of purchase. The resultant cost basis is determined after applying annual inflationary credit and construction depreciation factors. The Notary then determines the capital gains tax (ISR) by subtracting the cost basis and the sale’s commission from the sale price to obtain the ‘gain,’ which is taxed at 35%.

Visas

Every person entering Mexico must obtain a tourist visa for up to 180 days, which does not include permission to work. Immigration officials provide this visa upon arrival to Mexico. Suppose people wish to stay or live indefinitely in Mexico for periods longer than six months, whether or not they have acquired property. In that case, they must apply for a visa at the Mexican consulate in their home country. This is typically a simple process when work is not involved. Both permanent and temporary resident visas are available, with the latter being the easiest to obtain. To purchase property, the buyer must have legal immigration status in Mexico.
