Foreign Tourists To Be Reimbursed for Sales Tax Expenditures
June 8th, 2008 · No Comments
Sales tax rebates will be paid to foreign visitors beginning in June to enhance the experience of traveling to Mexico and make the country a destination of choice for international tourists.
Once the Tax Administration Service (TAS) grants concessions to three companies to operate the program, Mexico plans to put the program into effect.
As part of their main objective of increasing the flow of international tourists to the country, the Mexico Tourism Board (MTB), is spreading the word to their targeted markets where they concentrate heavily on tourism promotion with the hopes of encouraging foreign travelers to visit Mexico this summer.
