What are gasoline subsidies?

The objective of granting discounts to the IEPS fees is to offset the price escalation when the prices of oil and its derivatives increase in the United States, Mexico’s main fuel supplier.

When prices remain stable or do not have large increases, the Treasury collects the IEPS quotas in full or with small discounts, which helps collect tax revenue.

These quotas change every week and are published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. They have a maximum amount that is published in December of each year and apply to the following year; for example, at the end of 2023, the quotas applicable for all of 2024 were published.
