The Mexican tax authority, SAT, has halted billing for 2,002 companies involved in the illegal extraction and sale of gasoline, known as 'huachicol.' This action aims to prevent these firms from evading taxes by avoiding formal invoicing. The practice of huachicol is a significant issue in Mexico, contributing to economic losses and fueling organized crime. By stopping the billing process, the SAT seeks to increase transparency and ensure these companies pay their fair share of taxes.
