The supermarket chain, La Comer, paid the Tax Administration Service (SAT) 426 million pesos corresponding to reviews of tax reports of some group companies that carried out and signed an external audit office in 2014 and 2015.
La Comer detailed in a statement sent to the Mexican Stock Exchange that “it decided to dialogue with the tax authorities, in order to avoid uncertain legal confrontations, since matters of this nature can represent a long waste of time and resources for the company. “.
In the same way, the Mexican supermarket chain acknowledged that the administration estimates that said payment represents a net effect on the company’s results of approximately 133 million pesos, an estimate that is subject to the review of external auditors.
The La Comer payment joins the list of large corporations that have caught up with the SAT in the current administration.
