Fiscal
Reform 2008 Breakfast
As of
Jan 1, 2008 a new tax was introduced in Mexico
called the Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica
(“IETU”), in English Business Flat Tax, which is
replacing the Asset Tax. This new tax is also a
minimum tax in Mexico. Some companies are filing
an "amparo" or injunction to protect themselves
against this new flat tax, especially since
costs and investments made in 2007 would not be
deductible against this new flat tax. The filing
of an amparo is set for February 12th, and this
date is coming up very soon. The US-Mexico
Chamber of Commerce-Pacific Chapter has decided
to consider organizing an event to discuss this
new tax law and its implications as well as a
general discussion of the 2008 Mexican tax
reform.
Time: 8:30 - 11:30am Location:
2450 Colorado Avenue Suite 400 E, Santa Monica,
CA 90404.
Free Event!
