Cómo se gravan las ganancias de trading en México

Trading gains are taxable in Mexico and should be reported to SAT. reported treatment may depend on the taxpayer’s situation and the instrument traded.

The sources indicate Mexico does not have a special retail forex regime, but they do not describe a blanket capital-control barrier that prevents residents from sending money to foreign brokers. Any transfer still remains subject to ordinary banking, anti-money-laundering, and foreign-exchange compliance requirements under Mexican financial rules.

In practice, payments are typically made through standard cross-border card, bank transfer, or e-wallet channels subject to the broker’s jurisdiction and Mexican banking compliance rules.

Tax is charged on what you made, not on where the broker is. What the broker's location does change is the paperwork you will have: a local entity reports in México, a foreign one does not, and the statement you file comes from whichever entity signed you.
