Mexican Profit-Sharing Deadlines: Key Dates and Exemptions for 2025

**Mexican Profit-Sharing Deadlines: What Workers Need to Know** Mexico City – The payment of employee profit-sharing, or ‘utilidades,’ is a significant event for many Mexican workers. This year, the deadline for most companies is May 30th, but there are important distinctions to be aware of. According to recent reporting from El Heraldo de México, legally constituted companies (empresas) have until May 30th to make these payments. However, self-employed individuals with business activity (personas físicas con actividad empresarial) have a longer grace period, extending to June 29th. "This means those who work with these contributors will have to wait an extra week," explains the video. The video further clarifies that the profit-sharing distribution is a right established in the Mexican Constitution, guaranteeing workers a portion of the previous fiscal year's profits (2024 in this case). However, the video also notes that certain organizations are exempt, including non-profit organizations, public entities like the IMSS, and newly created businesses in their first year. This information is crucial for workers to understand their rights and anticipate their payments. The video underscores the importance of understanding these legal nuances to ensure fair compensation for all workers. This clarity is vital for protecting employee rights and promoting transparency in business practices.
