Always and justified as part of your work activity

Today several users have received an email notification that services such as Netflix or PlayStation Network will have an increase in their prices due to value added tax (VAT). This may be charged directly by the company or the bank acting as an intermediary in this payment process.

To clarify the point in Meristation México we consulted the accountant Farid Ríos Casas, since in some cases these services may be tax deductible.

He clarified that people who make reviews, content, texts or derivatives of these services may make them deductible "If your activity is profitable or not requires certain costs / expenses related to these services" can be deductible.

All this is covered by Article 27 of the Income Tax Law that dictates:

"The deductions authorized in this Title must meet the following requirements:

I. To be strictly indispensable for the purposes of the taxpayer's activity, unless

be about non-onerous or remunerative donations that satisfy the requirements set forth in

This Law and the general rules established for this purpose by the Administration Service

Tax ”

Certainly it will be necessary to see how these systems and the other services that are integrated into the collection of VAT facilitate the generation of invoices and their registration to facilitate this process.
