Two tax systems, one coherent strategy
U.S. citizens are taxed on worldwide income no matter where they live, and Canada has its own residency rules — so moving to Mexico does not end your obligations back home; it doubles the paperwork. The good news: tax treaties, foreign tax credits and exclusions exist precisely so you do not pay twice. The bad news: they only work when both returns tell the same story.
That is the core of our tax practice. We handle the Mexican side — RFC registration, facturación, declarations, compliance — and prepare or coordinate the U.S. side for expatriates and non-resident aliens, in person or entirely remotely. One office, both countries, no contradictions.
Situations we see every week
- A retiree with U.S. pension and Social Security income wondering what, if anything, Mexico taxes
- A condo owner renting on Airbnb who has never filed in Mexico — or in the U.S. — for that income
- An expat who opened a Mexican corporation and just learned about monthly declarations
- A Mexican national with U.S. rental property or investment income
- A couple selling their Vallarta home and facing capital gains questions in two countries
Start with a compliance check
In a single consultation we can usually map your exposure on both sides of the border: what you should be filing, what you have missed, and in what order to fix it. Cross-border tax problems grow quietly — and shrink dramatically when addressed early.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you earn income in Mexico — rent out your condo, run a business, work — the answer is almost always yes. What you owe and how to stay compliant depends on your residency status and the treaties between Mexico and your home country. A short consultation clarifies your exact position.
The RFC is Mexico's federal taxpayer registration. You will need one to invoice, to rent out property formally, to sell real estate with tax benefits, and for many banking procedures. Whether — and when — you should register is worth a conversation before you act.
Not worried — but you should be informed. Rental platforms already report and withhold taxes in Mexico, and owners who never structured their situation often pay more than they should, or discover problems when they sell. We can review your case and put it in order.
We handle the Mexican side and coordinate with your accountant abroad so both sides tell the same story. Cross-border consistency is what keeps you out of trouble.
