Use this calculator to estimate the EFICA federal tax credit and 0% VAT savings available for a Mexico-shot production. The calculator applies the 2026 decree thresholds (MXN 40M / 20M / 5M minimum spend by project type), the 70% national-supplier rule, and the MXN 40M per-beneficiary cap. Results are estimates — verify FX rates, current cycle availability, and structure with ANFEPA before locking budgets.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator implements the 2026 EFICA decree mechanics directly. Pick a project type to set the minimum spend threshold, enter your projected qualifying Mexico spend, set the national-supplier ratio, and indicate whether the primary exploitation occurs outside Mexico. The output shows EFICA eligibility, the 30% credit value (capped at MXN 40M per beneficiary), the 0% VAT savings, and the combined effective discount rate.
