When an individual sells a property in Mexico, they pay ISR (income tax) on the gain. The notary calculates this tax and withholds it when the deed (escritura) is signed. Our calculator follows the same steps:
The “I'm buying” tab estimates the buyer's costs: ISABI, additional tax, notary fees, Public Registry filing, appraisal and, if applicable, the bank fee.
The seller. The tax applies to the gain: sale price minus the updated purchase cost and deductions. The notary calculates it and pays it to the SAT when the deed (escritura) is signed.
Yes. The sale of your primary residence (casa habitación) is exempt up to 700,000 UDIs (about 6 million pesos) if you have not used this exemption in the last three years and can prove it is your residence. The part of the price above that amount is taxed.
The calculator deducts the purchase cost of the land and the building, updated with the INPC, with the building depreciated at 3% per year, plus the agent commission and its VAT.
Mainly the ISABI (3% in Benito Juárez, Cancún, plus an additional tax of 10% of the ISABI), notary fees (about 1.5% plus VAT), the Public Registry filing and the appraisal (avalúo). With a mortgage, the bank also charges a fee.
It is an estimate very close to reality, but the final amount may vary depending on notary fees and possible changes in the laws in force. We do what is necessary to keep this tool up to date as quickly as possible.
