June Compliance Calendar in Mexico: Key HR and Tax Deadlines for Global Teams

For global companies employing staff in Mexico, June is more than just the start of summer—it’s a critical month filled with labor and tax compliance deadlines. Missing any of these requirements can result in costly penalties, damaged reputation, and even operational disruptions. In this article, we’ll walk you through the most important HR and tax obligations that foreign employers must meet in June, helping your organization stay ahead of local compliance risks.

Why June Matters in the Mexican Compliance Cycle

June is a transitional month that marks the end of the first half of the fiscal year. It’s also when some of Mexico’s key employment obligations come due, especially those related to profit sharing (PTU), taxes, and social security reporting. For foreign employers managing remote or hybrid teams in Mexico, these deadlines can be easy to overlook without proper local guidance.

  • Deadline: June 30 (for corporations).
  • Who must comply: All companies with employees in Mexico that generated taxable income the previous fiscal year.
