In Mexico, sin taxes are reportedly likely [to be] applied on gambling as a new measure of the National Budget for 2026. National media waits for President Claudia Sheinbaum and Finance Secretary Rogelio Ramírez de la O to present the draft budget of the MORENA government.
This will be the Sheinbaum administration’s first budget since she succeeded Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) as President of Mexico in 2024.
Speculation mounts that Sheinbaum has authorized individual tax increases on soft drinks, tobacco and gambling, combined with a further new tax on violent/adult video games.
According to media briefings, the proposed 2026 Economic Package includes aggressive hikes across “sin verticals.”
