Thanks again...I'll take the recommendation about the accountant to heart.
I'm already in trouble with the IRS so I'll be extra careful in Mexico.

My wife does ceramics and has her product in several shops in town and the Inn at Loreto Bay. Small operation and ,according to the bookkeeper, Pays
2% of her gross sales to Hacienda. Too small to give facturas and collect the 10% IVA for them.

That is another reason you need a good accountant. They know the rules so you can wind up making a little money.
And the rules have gotten stricter since we started our business. Por ejemplo: Now if we write a check for more than 2000 pesos, we have a carbon
receipt that must be signed as acceptance of the check. We have to stamp these checks with "for deposit only" (that is in Spanish but I cant
remember the exact words).
All of our bills must have our RFC number on them(phone, elect etc)
Lotsa rules, all in Spanish....tough to abide by something that you dont even understand
Hacienda has a worse rep than the IRS with the Mexican public. And you do not want to have to answer any questions from them. So we play by the
rules. If I were a Mexican citizen, I might get a little sloppy with them but I am not and I do not want to HAVE to leave.
If your accountant is a good one, he keeps you up to date on all of these rules changes so your deductions are allowed.

Larry I was typing when you were asking:
I have never heard of this 2% rule but I cannot imagine Hacienda not collecting their 10% IVA on items sold. If you charge IVA, you damned well
better give it to Hacienda or they will come looking for it.

this is why I was saying that if your earnings are less than 2,000,000.oo pesos and that is a lot of money, it is better if you don't have a Mexican
Corp. if you have your accountant register your business with the Hacienda as pecineuo you will pay less than 2% this is a relatively new thing that
they came up with a while back to try to get some of the small business to start paying taxes.
If your accountant has not told you about this get a new accountant.

We dont qualify for that program, Bruce
I didnt know the exact figures(ie 2%) but we did discuss it with our accountant.

Take your 75k and invest in Baja dirt.

Too obvious to be that far misspelled, didn't even consider it. Bet you're right.

I too, on first reads do not understand and if it provokes strong emotion, I try always to reread. This form of communication is difficult at best.
I will try to be more complete, but I try hard now.

pecunia means cash. Pecunario is "financial" Isn't there some kind of small business you can set up that's rather informal? Is that what vandenberg's
wife has going?
