Resource center

The official source, one click away — and explained

Mexican tax and wealth legislation in force as PDFs straight from the source, the official indicators that govern contracts and taxes, Banxico's transfer validator and the authority directories. Every resource with its "what it's for" — because a link without context protects no one.

Legislation in force

The laws that govern your wealth, as official PDFs

Each link opens the PDF published by the Cámara de Diputados (Chamber of Deputies) or the SAT — the source, not a copy. We deliberately don't host the files: laws get amended, and a stored PDF ages in silence; the direct link to the source guarantees you the text in force the day you open it.

Was there a recent reform? Always verify the text in force and the amendment history in the Cámara de Diputados law library ↗ and, for administrative rules, in the SAT regulations ↗. If a link on this page ever stops working after the official portals are restructured, that's always where you'll find the version in force.
Essential SAT procedures

The official portals you'll need (with their guide)

RFC (taxpayer ID), e.firma (digital signature), digital seals, free invoicing and returns — each direct link with the Strategium guide that walks you through it. If a SAT link changes, the portal's search with the exact procedure name will find it.

Invoicing

Generate your invoice — the SAT's free invoicing ↗

Issue a CFDI 4.0 (tax invoice) without paying for a service: the official free tool (individuals can seal it with their e.firma, no CSD needed).

Strategium guide →

Certificates

Certificate recovery ↗

Look up all your certificates (e.firma and seals) with your RFC: status, validity and the .cer download. Audit here which seals exist in your name.

Strategium guide →

Certificates

Certifica (formerly SOLCEDI) — generate your CSD ↗

Download the official application to generate the request for your Digital Seal Certificate (CSD) and the files for your e.firma.

Strategium guide →

Certificates

CertiSAT Web ↗

Submit your CSD request, renew your e.firma online and revoke compromised seals — the second act of the Certifica procedure.

Strategium guide →

Procedures

SAT appointments ↗

Schedule your appointment for RFC registration, first-time e.firma or in-person renewal. Slots are released in blocks — keep trying early.

Strategium guide →

Returns

Returns & Payments (individuals) ↗

File your monthly returns — provisional, definitive and zero returns — with your RFC and password or e.firma. The 17th, plus extra days based on the sixth digit of your RFC.

Strategium guide →

Procedures

Get your RFC with your CURP (online) ↗

Register as an individual without going to the office — the starting point; the e.firma and registering an economic activity are completed with an appointment.

Strategium guide →

SAT viewers

What the SAT already has on you: stamped payroll and invoices

Before your return — or an invitation letter — the SAT has already gathered your receipts. These three viewers show you the same thing the authority sees: what your employer stamped, what you stamped for your workers, and all your invoices issued and received. Reviewing them is the cheapest way to find a discrepancy before they do.

Payroll

Payroll viewer — worker ↗

Look up, with your RFC and password, the payroll receipts your employer stamped in your name: wages, income tax withheld, employment subsidy and the base of your annual return. Here you catch a missing period or figures that don't add up.

Strategium guide →

Payroll

Payroll viewer — employer ↗

Review, in aggregate and per worker, the payroll receipts you stamped for your employees and reconcile the income tax withheld against what you remitted in your returns (data from 2018). The first place to look before the annual return.

Strategium guide →

CFDI

Look up invoices issued and received ↗

With your RFC and password or e.firma, look up and download all your CFDIs issued and received, in ranges of up to 12 months. The source for reconciling your income and deductions against what you declare — and the same data the SAT cross-checks.

Strategium guide →

Verification & interpretation

Where you verify what's in force, and how the courts interpret it

The law says one thing; the courts decide what it means. The case law and rulings of the Supreme Court and the TFJA are the second half of any serious analysis — and they're public.

SAT validators

Blacklists, RFC and invoices: verify before you pay

Deducting an invoice from a published EFOS or paying against a cancelled CFDI are mistakes that cost you the deduction, the VAT and sometimes much more. These four public lookups take minutes — the full routine is in our guides on blacklists and the CFDI verifier.

Official indicators

UMA, UDIS, exchange rate, rates, minimum wage, gold and silver

Penalties in UMAs, exemptions in UDIS, contracts in dollars at the DOF rate, interest referenced to TIIE: Mexico's legal numbers live in these portals. The full explanation of each indicator and where it hits you is in our indicators guide and in the one on the official exchange rate.

Payment validation

Did that transfer really go through? The CEP answers

The CEP (Electronic Payment Receipt) is generated by the Bank of Mexico's SPEI system for every interbank transfer that actually settles — with Banxico's digital seal. It works both ways: to verify that the payment someone claims to have sent you exists (the antidote to forged receipts) and to prove, with an official certificate, the payments you made. Full guides: validate what was sent to you · prove what you paid.

Anti-money-laundering (LFPIORPI)

Cash, vulnerable activities and reports

The Anti-Money-Laundering Law bans cash above certain amounts (real estate, vehicles, metals) and requires you to identify clients and report to the authority when you cross thresholds set in UMA. The guides: cash limits and identification and reporting thresholds.

Social security

NSS, contribution weeks, pensions, Infonavit and employer payments

From the NSS you're asked for at every job to the statement of weeks that defines your pension, and on the employer side, the SUA and SIPARE used to calculate and pay contributions. Guides: get your NSS · contribution weeks · employer-employee contributions · SUA and SIPARE.

Calculators & tests

Strategium's free tools

Numbers first, decisions later. They all use official 2026 figures and none store your data.

Templates & forms

Documents that survive an audit — ready to fill in

General-purpose templates, deliberately conservative, with the scope notes and the certain-date (fecha cierta) instructions included. Direct download, no sign-up. The hardened version for your case is a session.

Directories

Authorities and courts: where you file and where you litigate

From the SAT office for your e.firma to the TFJA chamber where a tax debt is fought. What each body does and when to turn to each is in our guide to tax defense remedies.

From resource to strategy

The sources are public. Judgment is what we charge for.

If a topic on this page is costing you money or sleep — a law that applies to you, an indicator that moves your contract, a disputed transfer, an act of authority — the diagnostic is a conversation.
