Urgent Warning: SAT Emails Cause Alarm Among Mexican Workers

Mexico City, June 15, 2025 – Thousands of Mexican workers are expressing concern over emails seemingly from the SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria), demanding the filing of past tax returns. The SAT has confirmed the legitimacy of contacting taxpayers regarding past-due taxes, but stressed that they never request sensitive information like passwords or bank details via email. "The SAT is within its right to review tax filings up to five years prior," stated a SAT spokesperson. The video highlights the importance of verifying email domains and checking the official SAT website and buzón tributario. One affected worker commented, "It was a scary email; I wasn't sure if it was real." The SAT advises taxpayers to exercise caution and seek professional help if needed. This incident underscores the importance of digital literacy and the need for clear communication from government agencies.
