Juan Jose Gutierrez Mayorga explained that in special cases, bank information will be requested to detect tax evasion and avoidance. He also informed that the actions are expected to be executed in shoe stores, clothing stores, Christmas tree sales, jewelry stores and home appliances, among others, where the 200 auditors assigned will check that the taxpayers are registered in the SAT and issue invoices for sales or services rendered.

Documents before the audit

Likewise, the documentation that covers the merchandise for sale must comply with the legal requirements and the behavior and history of fiscal presence will be verified.
