REMITTANCE TAXES
The Mexican House of Representatives has unanimously passed a resolution denouncing U.S. states that impose remittance taxes, or are currently considering such legislation, and calling upon the Mexican government to take trade measures against those states. The Mexican House of Representatives has called upon the Mexican Government to establish trade measures against U.S. states that have adopted a fee to remittances being sent to Mexico. Such trade measures would be imposed in states like Oklahoma as a way to respond and retaliate against this new law. Mexican Legislators consider this bill as “immoral, abusive and harmful” act against immigrantsô rights.
Mexico is the number-one international trade partner of both Oklahoma and Kansas, the foreign market where they export the majority of products and services.
