| 60 | |
| 61 | ## Section 2 -- Assembly Workflow |
| 62 | |
| 63 | ### Phase 1: Data Gathering |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ``` |
| 66 | 1. Download CFDI emitidos (issued) from SAT portal -- full year XML set |
| 67 | 2. Download CFDI recibidos (received) from SAT portal -- full year XML set |
| 68 | 3. Obtain bank statements (all accounts, all institutions) |
| 69 | 4. Obtain acuses de declaraciones provisionales (ISR + IVA, all months) |
| 70 | 5. Obtain constancias de retenciones (employers, clients with retention, platforms) |
| 71 | 6. Obtain IMSS payment receipts (if voluntary or employer) |
| 72 | 7. Obtain prior year declaración anual (for comparison) |
| 73 | ``` |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ### Phase 2: CFDI Revenue Reconciliation |
| 76 | |
| 77 | | Step | Check | Action if Mismatch | |
| 78 | |---|---|---| |
| 79 | | 2.1 | Sum all CFDI emitidos (subtotal, before IVA) | This = gross revenue for ISR | |
| 80 | | 2.2 | Compare CFDI total vs bank deposits | Bank > CFDI = possible undeclared income | |
| 81 | | 2.3 | Verify método de pago (PUE vs PPD) | PPD: income = when complemento de pago issued | |
| 82 | | 2.4 | Check for cancelled CFDI (status = cancelado) | Exclude cancelled from totals | |
| 83 | | 2.5 | Verify RFC of all clients on CFDI | Flag any RFC genérico (XAXX010101000) > $50,000 | |
| 84 | | 2.6 | Cross-reference CFDI vs client payments | Identify unpaid invoices (for PPD accounting) | |
| 85 | |
| 86 | **RESICO Special Rule:** Income is recognised on cash basis (efectivamente cobrado). Only CFDI with confirmed payment count. PPD CFDI without complemento de pago = not yet income. |
| 87 | |
| 88 | **AEP Rule:** Income recognised on accrual basis (devengado) for general regime, OR cash basis if elected under Art. 196 CFF. Verify which method the client uses. |
| 89 | |
| 90 | ### Phase 3: CFDI Expense Reconciliation (AEP Only) |
| 91 | |
| 92 | | Step | Check | Action if Mismatch | |
| 93 | |---|---|---| |
| 94 | | 3.1 | Sum all CFDI recibidos (deductible expenses) | Verify each has valid RFC, correct régimen fiscal | |
| 95 | | 3.2 | Verify requisitos de deducibilidad (Art. 27 LISR) | Payment via banked method >$2,000 MXN | |
| 96 | | 3.3 | Check IVA on each CFDI recibido | IVA trasladado = IVA acreditable | |
| 97 | | 3.4 | Verify payment method | Cash payments >$2,000 = NOT deductible | |
| 98 | | 3.5 | Check timing | Expense must be in same fiscal year | |
| 99 | | 3.6 | Verify proportionality | If mixed use, apply proportion | |
| 100 | |
| 101 | **Deductibility Requirements (Art. 27 LISR):** |
| 102 | - Strictly indispensable for the business activity |
| 103 | - Backed by valid CFDI |
| 104 | - Paid by transfer, cheque, credit/debit card, or electronic wallet (>$2,000) |
| 105 | - Withholding obligations met (if applicable) |
| 106 | - Properly registered in accounting |
| 107 | |
| 108 | ### Phase 4: Provisional ISR vs Annual ISR Cross-Check |
| 109 | |
| 110 | | Step | Check | Expected Outcome | |
| 111 | |---|---|---| |
| 112 | | 4.1 | Sum all provisional ISR payments made | Total from acuses | |
| 113 | | 4.2 | Sum all ISR retained by clients (retenciones) | From constancias de retenciones | |
| 114 | | 4.3 | Calculate annual ISR liability | Using Art. 152 table (AEP) or Art. 113-E (RESICO) | |
| 115 | | 4.4 | Annual ISR - provisionals - retentions | = ISR a cargo (to pay) or ISR a favor (refund) | |
| 116 | | 4.5 | If saldo a favor > 30% of ISR annual | Flag -- high refund ratio triggers SAT review | |
| 117 | |
| 118 | **RESICO Cross-Check:** |
| 119 | - Annual ISR = total income × applicable RESICO rate |
| 120 | - Credit: sum of monthly provisional payments |
| 121 | - Credit: retenciones (1.25% retained by personas morales) |
| 122 | - Result = a cargo or a favor |
| 123 | |
| 124 | **AEP Cross-Check:** |
| 125 | - Annual ISR = progressive table on (revenue - deductions - personal deductions) |
| 126 | - Credit: provisional payments (Art. 106 method) |
| 127 | - Credit: retenciones |
| 128 | - Credit: estímulos fiscales (if applicable) |
| 129 | |
| 130 | ### Phase 5: IVA Monthly Reconciliation |
| 131 | |
| 132 | | Step | Check | Expected Outcome | |
| 133 | |---|---|---| |
| 134 | | 5.1 | IVA trasladado (charged to clients) | 16% × revenue (or 8% border, 0% applicable) | |
| 135 | | 5.2 | IVA acreditable (paid on expenses) | Sum IVA on deductible CFDI recibidos | |
| 136 | | 5.3 | IVA retenido (retained by clients) | From constancias de retenciones (2/3 IVA common) | |
| 137 | | 5.4 | Monthly: trasladado - acreditable - retenido | = IVA a cargo or a favor | |
| 138 | | 5.5 | Cross-check vs monthly declaraciones filed | Verify consistency | |
| 139 | | 5.6 | Annual IVA total | Should = sum of 12 monthly declarations | |
| 140 | |
| 141 | **Common IVA Retentions:** |
| 142 | - Persona moral paying persona física: retains 2/3 of IVA (Art. 1-A LIVA) |
| 143 | - Digital platform: retains 100% IVA |
| 144 | - Government entities: retain 100% IVA |
| 145 | |
| 146 | ### Phase 6: IMSS Cuotas Check |
| 147 | |
| 148 | | Item | Check | |
| 149 | |---|---| |
| 150 | | Voluntary (Modalidad 40) | Verify 12 monthly payments made | |
| 151 | | Employer (patrón) | Verify SUA/IDSE bimestral payments (6 periods) | |
| 152 | | Cuotas amount | Verify base declared × contribution rate | |
| 153 | | Deductibility | AEP: deductible as personal deduction (Art. 151-V). RESICO: NOT deductible. | |
| 154 | |
| 155 | ### Phase 7: Personal Deductions (AEP Annual Return) |
| 156 | |
| 157 | | Deduction (Art. 151 LISR) | Limit | Notes | |
| 158 | |---|---|---| |
| 159 | | Medical/dental/hospital expenses | No global limit per item | Must be for taxpayer, spouse, ascendants, descendants | |
| 160 | | Funeral expenses | 1 UMA anual ($41,273.52) | Per event | |
| 161 | | Donations | Up to 7% of prior year base (4% to gobierno) | Must be to donatarias autorizadas | |
| 162 | | Mortgage interest (real, vivienda) | Up to 750,000 UDIS of credit | Only habitual residence | |
| 163 | | Voluntary retirement savings (Afore/PPR) | 10% of income, max 5 UMA anuales ($206,367.60) | Deductible contribution to Plan Personal de Retiro | |
| 164 | | Health insurance premiums | No specific sub-limit | Complementary medical insurance | |
| 165 | | School transportation | Per child | Only if mandatory | |
| 166 | | Local taxes on property | Actual paid | Predial on property owned | |
| 167 | |
| 168 | **Global Personal Deduction Limit:** The lesser of 15% of total income OR 5 UMA anuales (MXN$206,367.60 for 2025). |

| 284 | |
| 285 | ## Section 6 -- Edge Cases |
| 286 | |
| 287 | ### Dual Régimen in Same Year (RESICO → AEP Transition) |
| 288 | |
| 289 | - If income exceeds $3.5M mid-year, recalculate entire year under AEP |
| 290 | - Credit all RESICO provisional payments against AEP annual liability |
| 291 | - File declaración complementaria for all provisional months |
| 292 | - Update Constancia de Situación Fiscal |
| 293 | |
| 294 | ### Multiple Income Chapters (Acumulación) |
| 295 | |
| 296 | When taxpayer has income from multiple chapters: |
| 297 | - Sueldos y salarios (Cap. I) + AEP (Cap. II): accumulate both in annual |
| 298 | - RESICO + Sueldos: RESICO is separate (no accumulation unless >$300,000 combined) |
| 299 | - Arrendamiento + AEP: both accumulate in annual declaration |
| 300 | - Apply progressive table to total accumulated base |
| 301 | |
| 302 | ### Pérdidas Fiscales (Tax Losses) |
| 303 | |
| 304 | - AEP losses carry forward up to 10 years (Art. 109 LISR) |
| 305 | - Update for inflation annually (factor de actualización) |
| 306 | - Cannot offset losses against RESICO income |
| 307 | - RESICO does NOT generate tax losses (no deductions allowed) |
| 308 | |
| 309 | ### Estímulos Fiscales (Tax Incentives) |
| 310 | |
| 311 | | Incentive | Article | Benefit | |
| 312 | |---|---|---| |
| 313 | | Technological research/development | Art. 202 LISR | 30% credit on R&D spending | |
| 314 | | Film/theatre production | Art. 189-190 LISR | Credit against ISR | |
| 315 | | Northern border region | Decree 2019 | ISR rate reduced to 20%; IVA 8% | |
| 316 | | Donations to trusts | Art. 151 LISR | 7% limit | |
| 317 | |
| 318 | --- |
| 319 | |
| 320 | ## Section 7 -- Red Flags and Audit Triggers |
| 321 | |
| 322 | | Indicator | SAT Risk Level | Action | |
| 323 | |---|---|---| |
| 324 | | Bank deposits > CFDI revenue by >20% | HIGH | Investigate -- potential discrepancia fiscal | |
| 325 | | ISR refund > 40% of annual liability | MEDIUM | Document thoroughly; expect SAT query | |
| 326 | | Zero CFDI for months with bank activity | HIGH | File complementarias or explain | |
| 327 | | CFDI to RFC genérico > $50,000 individual | MEDIUM | SAT flags for review | |
| 328 | | Provisional payments all in ceros despite income | HIGH | Immediate regularisation needed | |
| 329 | | Deductions > 60% of revenue | MEDIUM | Verify each deduction meets Art. 27 | |
| 330 | | Personal deductions near global limit | LOW | Normal -- just document properly | |
| 331 | | Year-over-year revenue drop > 50% | MEDIUM | SAT may compare to CFDI history | |
| 332 | |
