Legal nature of SAT invitation letters  \nIn accordance with criteria issued by the Federal Judicial Branch (jurisprudences 2a./J. 62/2013 and PC.III.A. J/59 A (10a.)), these invitation letters constitute only declarative and non-final acts; that is, they do not create immediate obligations, do not directly affect the taxpayer’s legal sphere and, therefore, are not challengeable through administrative litigation, given that they do not determine any payable amounts, do not establish specific rights or penalties, nor constitute final or definitive resolutions issued by the tax authority.  \nIt is important to point out that pursuant to Article 42 of the Federal Tax Code, tax authorities are empowered to verify proper compliance with taxpayers’ fiscal obligations through the exercise of their auditing powers, such as desk reviews, on-site inspections, or electronic audits.  \nTherefore, it should be considered that only through the formal exercise of auditing powers, respecting the principle of legality, through a duly substantiated, reasoned, and notified written act issued by a competent authority, may the tax authority require the necessary information to verify that taxpayers, jointly liable persons, or third parties related to them have complied with tax and customs provisions and, if applicable, determine omitted contributions or tax assessments, as well as verify the commission of tax offenses and provide information to other tax authorities.  \nHowever, it should be considered that formal audits conducted by SAT usually involve high costs for the federal government, derived primarily from the time, human resources, and materials invested in each individual audit. In this sense, preventive actions such as invitation letters are especially attractive to SAT, as they imply significantly lower costs compared to traditional auditing procedures such as on-site inspections or desk reviews.  \nLikewise, this strategy allows SAT to focus its human and technical resources on specific cases where tax inconsistencies are significant, thus reducing the operational burden arising from unnecessary audits and optimizing the allocation of institutional resources.  \nII. Tax obligations regarding subcontracting of specialized services  \nAccording to Article 15-D of the FTC, it is essential that payments for subcontracting specialized services are not part of the corporate purpose or main economic activity of the beneficiary of said services in order to have tax effects in terms of deduction or credit.  \nIn this regard, Article 27, section V, of the IT Law establishes that payments for the provision of specialized services maybe deductible provided the contracting party verifies that the contractor is registered in REPSE at the time of payment, obtains copies of CFDI for salaries, holds bank receipts of withheld taxes, and ensures compliance with the payment of social security contributions to IMSS and INFONAVIT.  \nOn its part, according to Article 5, section II, of the VAT Law, such specialized services may be creditable provided that the contracting party verifies that the contra","cbCaik4WWfTsnmRc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaik4WWfTsnmRc","pdf",2956972,"English","# Legal nature of SAT invitation letters\n## Declarative and non-final character\n## Link with auditing powers and due process\n# Tax obligations for subcontracting specialized services\n## Conditions for Income Tax deduction\n## Conditions for VAT credit\n# Practical analysis of SAT strategy (technology and big data)\n## Access to invoice, return, and related-party data\n## Automated cross-checking and follow-up measures\n# Specific tax implications when REPSE is canceled\n## IT deduction inadmissibility\n## VAT crediting impossibility","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of SAT’s recent email invitation letters?\",\"answer\":\"SAT sends invitation letters to encourage voluntary self-correction where taxpayers may have transactions with specialized service providers whose REPSE registration has been canceled.\"},{\"question\":\"Are SAT invitation letters legally challengeable through administrative litigation?\",\"answer\":\"No. They are declarative and non-final acts that do not create immediate obligations, determine payable amounts, or establish specific rights or penalties.\"},{\"question\":\"What tax conditions affect deductions and credits in subcontracting with specialized services?\",\"answer\":\"For Income Tax deductions and VAT credits, the supplier must have current REPSE registration at the time of payment.
