“Seventh. For the purposes of the regulation 2.7.1.35, the taxpayers may choose to issue CFDI by using the version 3.3 of Annex 20 without incorporating the complement for receipt of payments until August 31, 2018 “ The obligation to issue the payment CFDI (or electronic payment receipt REP), will apply for payments received as of September 1, 2018, which according to the operating rules of said recipient, may be issued no later than day 10 of the month after the payment was made. For example, in the event that a payment is received on September 5, the recipient of the payment will have until October 10 to issue the corresponding REP.

The payments received until August 31, may apply the facility to check them through a CFDI income or through a REP. For the payments received in August, the REP may be issued no later than September 10. When making use of the facility, instead of issuing an Electronic Payment Receipt each time you receive a partial or deferred payment, you can issue a CFDI income type (as was done before the REP will exist) and relate it to the CFDI that it is paid according to the following keys: 08 Invoice generated by partial payments. 09 Invoice generated by deferred payments.

The Tax Administration Service (SAT) indicated that the New Invoice, or CFDI 3.3, would have a Payment Receipt Complement; a requirement that exists since 2003 but that few taxpayers used or complied with as a provision.

F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H 2 0 1 8 | A M E X I PA C
Hence, we can say, in part, that this 2018 becomes an obligation. To be exact, from April 1 we must issue and/or receive this CFDI Complement in order to confirm that the payment of our electronic invoices has been made, after
having made the transaction. But just as important, it is to know 2 impacts of this when we use it:
As we see in column D, it is not decided to consider the socalled “exchange rate gain” as VAT base, simply the VAT is left the same and ready.
Impact 1: the causation or obligation to pay VAT or IEPS, depending on the source invoice that is being paid.
However, in Column E, we will consider that VAT is generated on the so-called “exchange rate gain”, and for this we read the VAT Act in Article 12:
Impact 2: if our invoices have been issued in dollars, for example, the obligation to pay this VAT would have to be made according to the most recent exchange rate, regardless of whether the payment of the digital receipt is made in Mexican pesos or dollars.
“To calculate the tax in the case of disposals, the agreed price or consideration will be considered as value, as well as the amounts that are also charged or collected to the purchaser for other taxes, duties, normal or default interest, conventional penalties or any other concept “.
Our attention has to focus on the second impact. Why do I say it? It is very important to know the most recent exchange rate to comply with the tax payment. If you take a nonupdated reference, it may have consequences for a difference in tax payments.
As we can see the difference of what was originally agreed ($19,000 plus VAT) and what will be paid, whether it is column D or column “E”, may or may not generate VAT; depending on the criteria. However, if we see what Article 12 of the VAT Act says, this exchange gain can be considered as “any other concept” and then the VAT should be calculated and proceed as column E.
Maybe this article does not clear up all the doubts. At least, if we will be more informed with regard to the data that the SAT has in this type of case and when we use the Payments Receipt Complement or Electronic Payment Receipt (REP), as it is also known. For example, in a company, a CFDI with income of $1,000 is issued, taking as an exchange rate $19 for each dollar. This CFDI was made with the payment method in partial or deferred payments (PPD, by the acronyms that are used, according to the authority) and a form of payment for defining (key 99). The tax consequence will be that this company has a taxable income, for ISR of $19,000 plus a VAT caused and payable of $3,040. Of course, that VAT will not be paid as long as the receipt is not paid partial or totally. Recall that rule 2.7.1.35, second paragraph, of the Miscellaneous Fiscal Resolution tells us that if it were a partial payment, the taxes will be caused proportionally. As a second part of this example, suppose that the receipt is paid in full at a later date, but with an exchange rate of $22 per dollar. There is no reason to be scared; it is just an example with which we can illustrate the total taxes to be paid in pesos through the following table:
I have had contact with an endless number of colleagues and the opinion is divided on whether this “extra payment”, due to the exchange differences, causes VAT or not. But regardless of your criteria, I recommend that you go ahead and request the tax authority a confirmation of criteria for the purposes of transit for a fiscal tranquility for you and your company. Why is this topic so important? The authority has all the necessary elements to know if there was or not gain, or exchange loss. When I say this I refer to the following attributes within the CFDI-Revenue (Type of exchange at the moment of the issuance of the receipt) and to the attribute TypeChangeRD * at the time of the payment. *Conditional attribute to express the exchange rate according to the currency registered in the related document. It is required when the currency of the related document is different from the currency of payment. The number of units of the currency indicated in the related document must be recorded, which equals one unit of the currency of the payment. That is, the currency of the related document is USD (US dollar), currency of payment, pesos, a unit of currency of payment (that is, a peso) is equivalent in our example to 1/22 = 0.04545 dollars. The SAT has the exchange rate of the Income CFDI and the relation with each peso 1/19, and now has the exchange rate at the time of the payment and with that, dear readers, the SAT can perfectly determine the exchange rate gain (and if the corresponding VAT is applicable), so we must be careful and take all the precautions of the case to avoid having a problem.

MARYANGELICA MORA HERNÁNDEZ QUADRUM
Last Thursday, January 11, 2018, the Mexican Tax Authority (SAT) announced through the “Tax Mailbox” the computer application that will allow taxpayers who have outlays for labor subcontracting services in terms of the Federal Labor Act, comply with the obligations set forth in article 27, section V, last paragraph of the Income Tax Act (LISR) and article 5, fraction II and article 32, section VIII of the Act on Value Added Tax (LIVA), so that the payments made for this concept were deductible and the VAT paid is creditable. This application is available in the Tax Mailbox in the section called “Applications” “Labor Subcontracting” and has three sections that are:
1. Authorization of the contractor for the CFDI consultation and declarations. 2. Consultation by the contractor of the CFDI and declarations. 3. Notice for compliance with labor subcontracting obligations 2017. In section number 1, the contractors (who provide the service) will register the contractors (the clients) to whom they will grant the authorization so that they can consult among others the following information: workers’ registration with those who provide the service, CFDI consultation of payroll and declarations of withholdings of the income tax and VAT, as well as of the whole of the employer worker quotas for purposes of the IMSS.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
PAYMENT
RECEIPT COMPLEMENT
SANDRA ESCALANTE HIMMELSPACH INTERFACTURA
The new Payment Receipt Complement also called Electronic Payment Receipt (REP); it is a CFDI of type “P” that contains the specific information on the received compensation, that is to say; it is an invoice to which specific additional information about received payments is added. It will enter into compulsory operation as of April 1 of this year. In order to issue this new type of CFDI, there are rules that taxpayers must take into account, among them are the following:
1) VERSIONS: The Electronic Payment Receipt (REP) can
only be incorporated into an Income CFDI issued in version 3.3 of Annex 20, on the other hand; the complement will carry the version 1.0.
2) METHOD AND FORM OF PAYMENT: The Income
CFDI version 3.3 to which the Electronic Payment Receipt (REP) will be incorporated, must have established that the method of Payment of that receipt will be “PPD” (Payment in installments or deferred)
TAX TECHNOLOGY
The payment in installments means that the operation will be settled with more than one financial operation and the deferred payment means that the consideration will be made in a single exhibition and in the future. Likewise, the form of payment that will be established in the aforementioned Income CFD, will be that corresponding to the key “99” (to be defined) since it is not paid at that moment; cause we do not know the means by which we will receive the income.
3) ISSUANCE: The deadline to issue the Electronic Payment
Receipt is the tenth calendar day of the following month in which the payment was received; that is, for example: a consideration was received on the last day of June 2018, the “P” CFDI must be issued no later than July 10, 2018; the same deadline will be applicable if the consideration was received on June 1 of the same year. If this deadline is not met, the taxpayer may incur in infractions and generate fines.
8
F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H 2 0 1 8 | A M E X I PA C
You cannot issue an Electronic Payment Receipt with a future payment date since the date of receipt of the consideration must be equal to or prior to the date of issuance of the Payment Receipt Complement, that is to say; in the “Date” field the date and time of issue of the CFDI is recorded and in the “Payment Date” field the date and time in which the payment of the consideration is being received is stated. It should be mentioned that if the consideration was received by means of a check, the date on which the financial instrument is received must be recorded; regardless of whether the deposit is credited later.
4) FISCAL VALIDITY: The Electronic Payment Receipt is
required in order to be able to credit the transferred taxes or, if applicable, the deduction.
5) FORMS AND EMISSION SCENARIOS: 5.1 One Payment Received Settle Several CFDI Type “I”: Issuing a single “P” CFDI in which they will be included, within the identifier field of the document; the references of the tax sheets (UUID) corresponding to each one of the invoices that are settled.

TAX TECHNOLOGY
1 0 F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H 2 0 1 8 | A M E X I PA C
5.2 Receiving several payments during the same period and from the same receiver: When this assumption is presented, a single Electronic Payment Receipt must be issued, generating several “Payment” sections to relate each consideration received, as well as the UUID’s relation to the invoices that are linked to said considerations. 5.3 Payment reception with electronic funds transfer: In this case, it is the issuer’s decision to fill in the information in the “TypeCadPayment” field. If you choose to include this information, then you must also register the information in the “CertPayment”, “CadPayment” and “SealPayment” fields.
6) CANCELLATIONS:
6.1 When the RFC of the receiver that was established in the electronic payment receipt is incorrect, this “P” CFDI may be canceled by replacing it by another with the correct data. 6.2 When there is already at least one Electronic Payment Receipt that proves that the consideration has been totally or partially paid, the issued CFDI of Revenues cannot be canceled and the corrections must be carried out through the Expenses CFDI. 6.3 When the Electronic Payment Receipt has been issued with errors, it
may be canceled provided another one with the correct data replaces it. If the error was because it should not have been issued since the consideration had been paid in full, upon cancellation another with an amount of one peso must replace it.
7) TAX RELEASE:
In the Electronic Payment Receipt, taxes are not broken down; they are either transferred or withheld because the amount of the payment will be applied proportionally to the concepts specified in the Income CFDI.
8) ALLOCATION CRITERIA:
To determine which income CFDI will the received payment be applied to; the taxpayers will apply the allocation criteria in the following order: a) If there is an express legal provision of public order that establishes it, that provision shall be respected. b) If there is no express legal provision, the express agreement established by the parties involved will be applied. c) If there is no express agreement between the parties, the payer may indicate to the recipient of the payment those who will apply said payment and the amount corresponding to each receipt, counting with the 5 immediate
calendar days following the one in which the payment was made. d) In the event that the payer does not indicate the Income CFDI to which the receiver of the payment will apply to, the receiver of the payment will apply it to the CFDI of the oldest pending Income.
9) FIELDS THAT COMPOSES THE CFDI TO WHICH THE ELECTRONIC RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS IS INCORPORATED:
Receipt: in this field the information related to the receipt is established. It should be noted that the Payment Form, the Payment Method and the Payment Conditions are not filled in this section. The subtotal and total will have a value of zero and no discounts will be recorded. This will be a “P” type receipt.
10) BENEFITS: The electronic receipt of payments provides, among others, two great benefits: a) The cancellation of invoices issued and already paid is avoided, so you avoid having documents that are not valid fiscally. b) Establishes controls on accounts receivable from taxpayers. c) Avoids bad commercial and fiscal practices.
THE DEADLINE FOR ISSUING THE ELECTRONIC PAYMENT RECEIPT IS THE TENTH NATURAL DAY OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH, IN WHICH THE PAYMENT WAS RECEIVED.

As from the date in force of the payroll complement 1.2, the requirements that the per diem record in the payroll CFDI and its fiscal considerations must comply with are established. The filling guide of this complement tells us: When per diem payments are given to the worker, this data may be reported in any of the following ways: a) In the payroll CFDI of the period that includes the date on which the resource was delivered to the worker. b) In the payroll CFDI following that corresponding to the date on which the resource was delivered to the worker, as long as it is issued within 30 calendar days following the date of delivery of the resource to the worker and within the same fiscal year in which the resource was handed over to the worker. c) In an independent payroll CFDI, which covers only the delivery of the per diem, as long as it is issued within 30 calendar days following the date of delivery of the resource to the worker and within the same fiscal year in which it was delivered the recourse to the worker. Use of grouping keys within the payroll CFDI for the delivery of per diem The per diem delivered and not verified in the same period as the CDFI payroll issued, must be registered in the “TypeOtherPayment” field and classify it with the key “003” (Expenses delivered to the worker) of the catalog c_ TypeOthersPayments.
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
Under this context, if I have a per diem paid to the worker and it was not checked in the same period, it must be recorded in the payroll receipt as “TypeOther Payment” (Perception). However, we can not ignore the following, mentioning the filling guide in this regard: The travel expenses that are not verified by the worker or do not meet the tax requirements and to which the provisions of article 152 of the RISR do not apply, nor are they considered as non-deductible expenses by the employer, they must be included in the payroll CFDI in the field “ TypePerception” as taxable employee perceptions, using the key “050” (per diem), as the perceptions type catalog, the value must be registered in the field of taxed amount.
1 6 F E B R U A R Y - M A R C H 2 0 1 8 | A M E X I PA C
Interpreting the previous paragraph we have that “the travel expenses must be reflected in the payroll CFDI”, as a taxable perception when the following 3 conditions are given in their entirety: 1) Travel expenses that are not checked by the worker or do not meet the tax requirements. 2) To those who do not apply the provisions of Article 152 of the RISR. 3) Neither considered as non-deductible expense by the employer. Then, if a per diem paid to a worker is considered “non-deductible”, it should no longer be considered as taxable for the worker. The point is that it does not fall in the exempt income either. In my opinion, I believe that this is logical, since otherwise it would represent a “double punishment” for this act, on the one hand, it is accumulated to the worker and on the other it is left as “not deductible” for the company. However, this has its points of care, since, if it is customary to make electronic transfers to the worker, by replacement of travel expenses, and also are high sums in relation to the reported salary, this worker could have a fiscal discrepancy. So dear accountant, let’s go with lead with this “facility” that the SAT gives us in this sense and we do not abuse these cases, I think that if it is something that happens infrequently this is defensible, but if we use it as a “fiscal strategy” we may have some headaches.
If it is customary to make electronic transfers to the worker, by replacement of travel expenses, and also are high sums in relation to the reported salary, this worker could have a fiscal discrepancy.

PRINTED REPRESENTATION
OF A PAYMENT RECEIPT As is already known, one of the major recent changes in digital tax verification is the CFDI with Payment Receipt Complement, also known as Payment Receipt or Electronic Payment Receipt. This document must be issued by the reception of invoice payments in partial payments or invoices in a single exhibition but in a deferred manner. Its existence aims to:
MARCELA CISNEROS LÓPEZ DIVERZA
• Avoid false duplicities of incomes in partial billing. • Identify if an invoice has been paid or not. The printed representation of a Receipt of Payment is governed by the same rules as that of an income CFDI, but additionally has the condition of including all the information of the tax complement related to this type of document.
• Avoid unnecessary cancellation of invoices.
The printed representation should consider: General data of the CFDI - RFC of the issuer, - Fiscal regime of the issuer, - Place and date of issue - Serial Number of the Issuer Seal Certificate - Receiver RFC - Use of the CFDI - A billed concept that will always have the same values in product code, unit of measure and description. - Amount of unit value and total in zero - Taxes will not be included for this type of receipt - Currency expressed with the key “XXX”

Significant efforts have been made to improve the regulatory framework at the federal, state and municipal levels to simplify the process of starting a business or a company. The public policy actions include, within its main objectives, the reduction of costs and time to comply with the regulation, so that the process of opening a company is simple and does not generate high costs that may represent barriers.
However, the administrative simplification must include the complete life cycle of a company. The importance of simplifying the process to open a company should also be transferred to the process of closing it. The entrepreneurs not only take into account the process and the costs that involve the creation of a company, but also the possible risks that can end with that entity, so the closing process must also be analyzed.
