Guillermo Rosales, the executive president of the Mexican Association of Automobile Distributors (AMDA), has publicly denounced what he describes as a pattern of "exacerbated harassment" and unjustified pressure exerted by the Mexican Tax Administration Service (SAT) during audits. Rosales emphasized that this situation arises despite the automobile industry being highly regulated and already under strict financial oversight.

During a press conference, Rosales elaborated on the intricate relationship between the automotive sector and the SAT, noting that although it is transparent due to its heavy reliance on a well-defined supplier base—namely, the auto manufacturers—all transactions are properly invoiced and conducted through recognized financial institutions. This structural transparency, he argues, should not warrant the escalation of auditing pressure that has characterized recent years.

However, Rosales highlighted a troubling "modus operandi" that has emerged, where the SAT not only exaggerates the scope of audits but also creates an atmosphere of imminent threat regarding the potential for significant monetary quantification against distributors. This could indicate broader systemic issues within the tax authority's practices and potentially impact the industry's stability and future operations.
