If you are confused, just imagine what it is like for the small business owner. Much of Mexico, particularly in the rural areas, operate on a cash-only basis. These mom and pop businesses don't officially exist and don't pay taxes. If they charge you tax, then they need to get a tax number and submit taxes. This involves much paperwork, and they don't want to do that, or can't. Only those with a clear mind, lots of time, good research skills and money to pay "experts" can possibly figure out how to abide by Mexican tax laws. As far as vacations rentals are concerned, some do and most don't. But the vacationer could care less about all this, as long as they get a nice place to stay at a price they can afford. And they don't want surprises. If a vacation rental does not say that a value added tax will be charged, then it should not added on. I have yet to find a local rental ad that states that an IVA tax will be added. If it isn't, then I would rightfully assume that it is included in the price. If in doubt, ask. |
