Mexico's Tax Administration Service (SAT) accumulated tax revenues of nearly 3 trillion pesos in the first half of 2026, its highest figure on record for that period, while the agency's mobile office program served close to 400 municipalities across the country, according to information published on July 14, 2026 by La Jornada and El Imparcial.
The result consolidates the institutional strategy the SAT has maintained since 2022: expanding the active taxpayer registry through physical presence in municipalities that historically lacked service centers. More than 17 million in-person and remote interactions were recorded between October 2022 and June 2026. For municipalities distant from metropolitan areas, the mobile office program represents the only physical point of contact with the tax authority, narrowing the tax formalization gap. The strategy carries direct local public-policy implications: incorporating active taxpayers in small and medium-sized municipalities broadens the fiscal base and reduces those communities' dependence on discretionary federal transfers.
In the first half of 2026, SAT's mobile offices:
- Visited close to 400 municipalities with national coverage
- Served more than 263,000 people
- Completed approximately 438,000 procedures, including RFC registration, generation and renewal of the e.firma digital signature, and issuance of Tax Status Certificates (Constancias de Situación Fiscal)
- Operated Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The mobile office program has historically reached 875 municipalities nationwide since its launch. SAT Director Antonio Martínez Dagnino stated that the agency's strength lies in "honesty in the daily work of public servants." The annual revenue target for 2026 is 5.8 trillion pesos; with nearly 3 trillion collected in the first half, the trajectory remains within the target.
The SAT's second-half report, expected in early 2027, will be the first full fiscal-year snapshot under Martínez Dagnino's leadership and will measure whether the expansion of municipal coverage translates into a sustained increase in the active taxpayer base, the most structurally significant indicator for long-term fiscal policy.
