warning, avoid nogales on Jan 10

Caravan Company Information Some Caravan companies may be tax evaders. They probably do not pay USA, Canadian nor Mexican corporate taxes. they do not pay the IMSS for their employees. Instead the employees become an LLC and they call them contractors. Foreign LLC's are not recognized under Mexican law unless they are registered.. They are foreign corporations and cannot operate in Mexico without permission. The above link to the terms stats that the Wagonmaster has an LLC. Does not state that is a Mexican or USA LLC??? I wonder if the Caravan company tell their employees that this practice is probably illegal in Mexico. If it is legal then these employees should be self paying their Seguro and taxes. These employees require a work permit. I am not sure if the Migra issues work permits for this type of employee. The employees require a Residente permit with the work option. This raises all kinds of difficulties. It becomes very complicated. These employees are also required to report this income to the IRS or the CRA. It is also interesting that Tequila is always complaining about being charged in USA $$. He is 100% right! However the caravan company he works for also charges in USA $$. A double standard??? These companies are operating on the "dark side". Cheating employees. avoiding taxes. not following immigration laws, not paying payroll taxes and overcharging their clients. Reading the terms of this company tells me some ambulance chaser has had a hand in those terms. However employment law in Mexico is very strict. I doubt all their disclaimers would pass muster in a courtroom. If I were Tequila I would be worried that his employer is passing the buck to him. They claim no responsibility for anything that Paul does. If a client were injured and it was deemed to be Paul's fault he would be paying big time!!! And deported. I am surprised that Vagabundos is involved in this business. I am not a tax attorney but they may be involved in something that is not allowed under their tax status. I also wonder if all Caravan companies operate in this manner. There is also a problem with tourist insurance. If your vehicle is being used in a business you cannot have tourist insurance. An FMM is invalid as well. There is a box on the FMM where you can check that you are here on business but I think that is for persons who are here to represent a foreign company. Example: a salesman wanting to sell a product or service. Interesting.
