Sheinbaum Vows Continued Fight for Remittance Tax Elimination

Mexico City, May 23, 2025 – In a recent address, Claudia Sheinbaum, reiterated Mexico's commitment to eliminating the tax on remittances from the United States. She announced that despite a recent reduction to 3.5%, from 5%, the Mexican government remains dedicated to the complete removal of the tax. "We will continue working," Sheinbaum stated, "informing everyone, until there is no tax on the remittances our compatriots send to their families in Mexico." This commitment underscores the importance of remittances to the Mexican economy and the government's efforts to support its citizens abroad. The reduction in the tax rate is a positive step, and Sheinbaum's statement reinforces the ongoing commitment to complete elimination, offering hope for a more financially accessible future for many Mexican families.
