The summer months, starting in May, are generally considered low season for that reason. It can be a much warmer time and some destinations will have rains, but its also when there are much less crowds, much cheaper accommodations and airfares and often its a chance to see the more authentic town, when its slower and not so touristy. Or you could try again in the winter months, usually its cooler then.

I spent a week in Merida a year ago in April/May. The city is charming but the weather was way too hot for my sister and I who had visited from San Miguel de Allende. At that time we had temperatures in the 90s with no breeze and it felt very oppressive. As lovely as the city is, we will not be back.

Comment on New Changes to Mexican Immigration Law by Solomon Freimuth

Sorry if there was any confusion, this article was meant to be part one of a series on the migratory reforms. I actually just sent the next installment to Another Day In Paradise for editing.

I am of the opinion that the figure that we used to know as the FM3 is a thing of the past, based on the way I read the new law. The six month work permit AND the temporary resident work permit will take its place, depending on the criteria laid out in the “Reglamento” which will be published in the next few months (before November 25th, 2011).

Stay tuned for the next couple of installments of the series, which will explain the figures of Temporary and Permanent Resident.

Comment on Mexico Rental Income by Linda Neil

Property managers canNOT pay only IVA and hospitality taxes. Property owners must have a Mexican company file and pay taxes on total income received, plus the IVA and hospitality tax. Property managers must insist their owner clients hire a firm to complete the full filing requirement. This is compliance with the Mexican law and permits the foreign property owner to deduct these taxes and other expenses in his/her native country. Property Managers have the legal obligation to inform their clients of this obligation to declare.

Hi Linda,

How is it possible for property managers to pay IVA and hospitality taxes on behalf of their property owners without the property manager having to declare the full income from the property rental? Could you give a few more details about how this is done?

Comment on Whale watching in Zihuatanejo by Skip Cameron

Whales were a surprise addition to a day of fishing offshore on the day of the Japan Tsunami. We caught and released many fish, seeing but not hooking several sailfish, keeping one big Barrilete (Black Tuna) for dinner at El Manglar on La Ropa beach, where chef Rosa prepared it in a 27 spice recipe that was ‘to die for’, and we were entertained by yet another Tsunami surge over the beach berm into the Mangrove lagoon parallel to the restaurant. Of course we had to stop off at ‘The Fishing Hole’ corner bar in town for a cool one and entertainment by bartender Dawn from New Orleans. Skip Cameron. Austin. TX
