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.
