When you need an accountant (contador) in Cancún
Cancún is a resort with a strong rental market, so a common question among Russian speakers is rental income taxes and status. An accountant (contador) is needed for: RFC, rental taxes, RESICO, and bookkeeping.
Price reference: bookkeeping — $80–250/mo. Initial consultation with SVOY accountants — free.
What matters specifically for Russian speakers from the CIS
- Rental income from a condo. If you rent your apartment to tourists, you need an RFC, proper accounting, and payment of ISR/IVA; platforms like Airbnb report to the SAT.
- RESICO — preferential tax regime (~1–2.5% ISR) for individuals earning up to 3.5 million pesos; advantageous for landlords and freelancers.
- Income from clients in Russia — legally compliant; USDT and international transfers.
- CIS documents. Apostille and translation — remotely.
Taxes and forms
- persona física / RESICO — simple regime; sociedad — company;
- IVA 16%, ISR; electronic invoices CFDI are mandatory;
- rental via fideicomiso has its own accounting nuances.
How to choose
- hire a contador with experience in rentals and foreign nationals;
- clarify accounting treatment under fideicomiso;
- a Russian-speaking specialist will reduce the risk of errors.
