For Americans & Canadians
🇺🇸 US citizens note
Even if you move to Mexico, you still file US taxes on worldwide income. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) can shield up to $132,900/yr of earned income. Whether the Foreign Tax Credit or FEIE is better depends on Mexico's tax rates and your income type. Ask the AI for your specific situation.
🇨🇦 Canadian residents note
Moving to Mexico as a Canadian non-resident means Canada only taxes your Canadian-source income. A "departure tax" applies on deemed asset dispositions when you leave. Check whether Canada and Mexico have a tax treaty, which determines withholding rates on pensions, dividends, and RRSP withdrawals.
