The elected president announced that her government would establish the Digital
Transformation Office.
Mexico's next president, Claudia Sheinbaum, already has her government's goal in sight: to
resolve pending tax matters, particularly those related to raising funds for social programs,
infrastructure projects, and other expenditures.
It must be remembered that during the presidential campaign, she was repeatedly questioned
about the source of capital for her proposals and consistently stated she would not introduce
new taxes or increase existing ones.
In this regard, the elected candidate reaffirmed during the monthly meeting of the National
Council of the Business Coordinating Council (CCE) her rejection of a tax reform for 2025,
hinting instead that her administration would modernize the Tax Administration Service (SAT) to
optimize tax revenues.
"We do not plan to carry out a tax reform. Resources will be sourced from two areas:
digitalization within the government and a stronger digitalization of the SAT. We believe this will
offer us significant potential for tax revenues." Sheinbaum claimed another area for tax
collection would be customs.
Sheinbaum, who will assume office on October 1st, highlighted progress in customs matters
achieved through the modernization of the Nuevo Laredo agency and modernization projects
in other offices throughout the country.
New Agency for Digital Transformation
The winner of the presidential elections on June 2nd announced the establishment of the
Digital Transformation Agency, aiming to optimize processes across all government agencies,
solve corruption issues, and connect more closely with the population.
It would not entail higher costs or increased operating expenses, but rather the consolidation
of various government digitalization efforts, intended to facilitate a genuine digital
transformation throughout the country.
