The uncertainty is no longer a looming threat \u2014 it&#8217;s a harsh reality for Mexico\u2019s energy sector. Five months into the year, many businesses still haven\u2019t complied with one of the strictest and most complex tax mandates from the SAT in recent memory: the implementation and operation of <strong>volumetric control systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This isn\u2019t just a technical reform or a regulatory update. It\u2019s a turning point. A trap for companies still telling themselves, <em>&#8220;That doesn\u2019t apply to us.&#8221;<\/em> The pain, the fear, and the urgency are not just metaphors \u2014 they\u2019re very real emotions being felt by business owners already facing audits, fines, and shutdowns. <strong>Are you next?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Issue<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SAT&#8217;s update to rule 2.6.1.2. under the 2025 Miscellaneous Tax Resolution dramatically expanded the scope of who must comply with volumetric control obligations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What exactly changed?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>New categories of obligated companies were added, including those who use fuel for internal consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronic monitoring was strengthened \u2014 the systems must now be certified by SAT-approved providers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Penalties for noncompliance became more severe, combining steep fines, tax suspensions, and criminal liability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s the current situation, in May 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Medium-sized companies are reporting unannounced on-site inspections from SAT auditors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Several businesses have already lost the ability to issue electronic invoices (CFDIs).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some are facing criminal investigations for volumetric discrepancies or non-reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Worst of all? Many business owners still don\u2019t even know they\u2019re required to comply \u2014 until it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are volumetric controls, and why now?<\/strong><br>These are certified systems that measure, record, and report the volumes of hydrocarbons or fuels handled by a company. Their mandatory implementation is part of a wider crackdown on fuel tax evasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Who is required to comply in 2025?<\/strong><br>Not just major distributors. If your company stores, transports, or consumes fuels \u2014 more than 75,714 liters per month or over 5,000 GJ of natural gas annually \u2014 you\u2019re likely obligated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happens if I don\u2019t comply?<\/strong><br>You could face fines of over $5.6 million pesos, lose your ability to issue invoices, and even face prison sentences of up to 8 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is there still time to comply?<\/strong><br>Yes \u2014 but barely. Companies that haven\u2019t started implementation are already in high-risk territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">May 2025 marks a pivotal shift in Mexico\u2019s tax enforcement strategy for the energy sector. This is no longer about prevention \u2014 it\u2019s about survival. The SAT is taking action, inspections are underway, and the penalties are no longer threats \u2014 they are facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pain is real for those who assumed they were exempt. The fear is growing among those who don\u2019t know where they stand. And the need to act? It\u2019s critical. <strong>This won\u2019t fix itself.<\/strong> You need legal and technical help \u2014 now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Don\u2019t let inaction cost you millions \u2014 or your freedom.<\/strong><br>At GLZ Abogados, we\u2019re ready to help you comply <strong>before<\/strong> the SAT comes knocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc49 <strong>Fill out the form at the bottom of this page, and one of our legal experts will contact you within 24 hours.<\/strong><br>You\u2019ll receive a free, personalized assessment to determine whether your company is obligated and how to get compliant immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Time is up.
