Define Legal Authorities for Mexico

Legal authorities are the government or legal entities with which an enterprise interacts, for example to send legislative reports or levy and collect fees and taxes. No legal authorities are predefined for Mexico.

You must create a legal authority for each government entity, such as a local tax office, that has a relationship with the enterprise. Later, you will register each legal entity you create with a legal authority.

Examples of legal authorities that you can set up for Mexico include State Tax Office or the Social Insurance Office.
