With an adjustment for inflation, the fee for Magna gasoline would go from 6.17 pesos per liter in 2024 to 6.46 pesos per liter in 2025. For Premium gasoline a fee of 5.45 pesos would apply, when this year’s is 5.21 pesos. For diesel the quota would be 7.09 pesos per liter.
Meanwhile, for tobacco, 0.6455 pesos would be charged for each cigarette, from a fee of 0.6166 pesos that is charged in 2024.
Finally, for flavored drinks such as juices and soft drinks, a fee of 1.6476 pesos per liter would be applied.
The IEPS fee per liter of flavored drinks, and with any type of added sugar, which was charged since 2014 and, until 2019, was one peso. Starting in 2020, it is updated according to inflation.
This IEPS is a tax that is charged on products that are considered by the authority to be harmful to health or the environment and its objective, in addition to generating income for the government, is to discourage their consumption.
However, Mexico is the fourth country in the world that consumes the most soft drinks with 133 liters per person in 2022, ahead of Belgium, Argentina and the United States, says Statista.
These resources are not labeled in Mexico for the financing of health services, avoiding or treating diseases such as obesity, hypertension or smoking, says the Center for Economic and Budgetary Research (CIEP).
