SAT annual tax declaration 2026 individuals Mexico
📅 Deadline: April 30, 2026
This is the filing deadline for individuals to submit their annual tax return for fiscal year 2025. After this date, surcharges and fines apply.

What is the annual tax declaration?

The declaración anual is the summary of your income, deductible expenses and the final tax calculation for the previous fiscal year. In 2026, you are declaring fiscal year 2025 (January to December 2025).

Unlike monthly declarations (which are provisional), the annual declaration is definitive. If you paid too much (saldo a favor), you can request a refund.
