On November 12, 2020, during a recurring morning press
conference, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador
issued an amendment proposal to reform various laws with the aim of
establishing a new regulation to the outsourcing scheme currently
in effect in Mexico.
The reform proposal, if passed, would amend the Federal Labor
Law (this week, the Bureaucratic Law eliminated
outsourcing), the Social Security Law, the Workers National
Housing Fund Institute Law and the correlative articles of the
Federal Tax Code, the Income Tax Law, and the Value Added Tax Law.
The proposal would expressly prohibit, under the subcontracting (or
outsourcing) regime, companies from providing their own workers to
benefit directly a third party (or client), by the work rendered by
those workers.
