Pemex is a cash cow that has twenty seven milking machines connected to its udder. It sounds incredible but CFE pays IVA on the fuel it purchases from Pemex then turns around and charges customers a second dose of 16% tax.
Installing meters on sites, even if permitted would enrage customers who demand that no matter what the cost "Mexico has to be cheap". The answer of course is boondocking camp sites. No power. Only water and sewer. This eliminates hassles, complaints, expenses, and unjustifiable overhead.
Here's an example of how things work down here: Items cannot be shipped from the free zone to Mexico without a factura (SHCP SAT Receipt). Shippers like Baja Pack and ESTAFETA flatly refuse to accept parcels without a Factura or official tax receipt from SAT explicitly describing the imported item and it's quantity. Got it?
So I purchase a carburetor kit for my son-in-law's Mitsubishi Mighty Max. Five dollars twelve cents. Aduana at Garita 2 Tijuana tells me the minimum fee for importation is one hundred pesos.
I take this two ounce carb kit that fits into a padded envelope to ESTAFETA, a package delivery service. Total weight? Three ounces gross. Charge? Three hundred pesos, standard fee. Transportation by ground via passenger bus. Arrival? Nine days after shipping. One thousand seven hundred miles.
Send it by Correos Mexicanos? You're joking, right? it used to be if it was insured, it would cost 4X the cost of regular post. I have had two packages lost. Each time it took nearly a YEAR to get reimbursed.
