Country Financial Analysis
The statutory corporate income tax rate in Mexico is 30%.
Profits in 2020 were made predominantly from integrated gas activities. Those profits were partially reduced by losses from upstream exploration and downstream activities. In Mexico, tax is paid in instalments in advance during the year and any overpayments may be used to reduce the tax liability in future periods. In 2019, we paid tax in advance in respect of our profitable activities which reduced our tax liability for 2020.
Our Payments to Governments Report for 2020 also shows that Shell paid around $36 million in fees.
