The Ley de Ingresos sobre Hidrocarburos (“Hydrocarbons Revenue Law”) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on August 11, 2014, and came into effect, on January 1, 2015. The Hydrocarbons Revenue Law sets forth the fiscal regime for Petróleos Mexicanos applicable to the assignments and the contracts that were established on such date. Likewise, every year the Federal Revenue Law is published in the Official Gazette of the Federation and includes specific regulations for Petróleos Mexicanos and the former Subsidiary Entities.

On November 1, 2024, the Energy Reform Decree took effect and transformed the legal regime of Petróleos Mexicanos from an empresa productiva del Estado (productive state-owned company) to an empresa pública del Estado (state-owned public company).

The Energy Reform Decree included artículos transitorios (transitional provisions) requiring the Mexican Congress to
adjust, amend or otherwise modify any relevant legislation required to give effect to the Energy Reform Decree within 180
calendar days. On March 18, 2025, the Secondary Legislation was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation, following its approval by Congress and enactment by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo.

Pursuant to the Energy Reform Decree, Petróleos Mexicanos is no longer subject to income tax as of November 1, 2024 (and, prior to their dissolution, the former subsidiary entities were also exempt)..

Separately, on December 19, 2024, the Ley de Ingresos de la Federación para el Ejercicio Fiscal de 2025 (2025 Federal Revenue Law) was published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. The 2025 Federal Revenue Law introduces changes to the fiscal regime applicable to Petróleos Mexicanos aimed at simplifying its fiscal framework and reducing the number of taxes and duties to which it is subject. As of January 1, 2025, the Mexican Government has consolidated the Derecho de Utilidad Compartida (Profit-Sharing Duty), the Derecho de Extracción de Hidrocarburos (Hydrocarbon Extraction Duty) and the Derecho de Exploración de Hidrocarburos (Hydrocarbon Exploration Hydrocarbons Duty), into a single obligation requiring only provisional and annual payments by Petróleos Mexicanos under a newly created Derecho Petrolero para el Bienestar (Welfare Oil Duty), which is set at a general rate of 30% on oil and fuel production and 11.63% for non-associated gas. Additionally, Petróleos Mexicanos is no longer subject to income taxes. As a result, on March 18, 2025, the Hydrocarbons Revenue Law was amended to incorporate the Welfare Oil Duty.

Tax regime applicable to Assignments


A. Derecho Petrolero para el Bienestar (Welfare Oil Duty) (Effective as of January 1, 2025).
This duty is determined by applying, to the value of the hydrocarbons extracted during the relevant fiscal year including self-consumption, as well as losses resulting from spills or flaring of such products without any deductions, a general rate of 30.00% for crude oil and fuel production, and 11.63% for non-associated gas and condensates.

For fiscal year 2025, a total Welfare Oil Duty liability of Ps. 194,573,038 was incurred, which was fully credited against monthly provisional payments in the amount of Ps. 194,574,269.
B.    Impuesto por la actividad de Exploración y Extracción de Hidrocarburos (Exploration and Extraction Hydrocarbons Duty).
The assignments granted by the Mexican Government create a tax on the exploration and extraction activities carried out in the corresponding area. The monthly tax paid during the exploration phase and until the extraction phase begins is Ps.2,374.84 pesos per square kilometer. During the extraction phase of a project, a monthly tax of Ps.9,499.53 pesos per square kilometer is payable until the relevant contract for exploration and extraction or assignment is terminated.
During 2025 and 2024, the incurred tax was Ps. 6,101,878 and Ps. 5,660,511 respectively, which are included in the cost of sales line item.
Tax Regime applicable to contracts:

The fiscal regime applicable to exploration and extraction contracts (contratos) under Title III of the Hydrocarbons Revenue Law, as amended on March 18, 2025, was not affected by this consolidation and remains in effect. Accordingly, the duties and payments described below continue to apply to contracts held by Petróleos Mexicanos.

As of January 1, 2015, the tax regime applicable to Petróleos Mexicanos for contracts is set forth in the Hydrocarbons Revenue Law which regulates, among other things, the fiscal terms applicable to the exploration and extraction contracts (license, profit sharing contracts, production sharing and services) and sets duties and other taxes paid to the Mexican Government.
The Hydrocarbons Revenue Law also establishes the following duties applicable to PEMEX in connection with assignments granted to it by the Mexican Government:
Cuota Contractual para la Fase Exploratoria (Exploration Phase Contractual Fee)
During the exploration phase of an exploration and extraction contract, the Mexican Government is entitled to collect a monthly payment of 1,820.72 pesos per square kilometer of non-producing areas. After 60 months, this fee increases to 4,353.94 pesos per square kilometer for each additional month that the area is not producing. The fee amount will be updated on an annual basis in accordance with the national consumer price index.
Regalías (Royalties)
Royalty payments to the Mexican Government are determined based on the “contractual value” of the relevant hydrocarbons, which is based on a variety of factors, including the type of underlying hydrocarbons (e.g., crude oil, associated natural gas, non-associated natural gas or condensates), the volume of production and the market price. Royalties are payable in connection with licensing contracts, production-sharing contracts and profit-sharing contracts.
Pago del Valor Contractual (Contractual Value Payment)
Licensing contracts require a payment to the Mexican Government calculated as a percentage of the “contractual value” of the hydrocarbons produced, as determined by the SHCP on a contract-by-contract basis.
Porcentaje a la Utilidad Operativa (Operating Profit Payment)
Production-sharing contracts and profit-sharing contracts require a payment equivalent to a specified percentage of operating profits. In the case of production-sharing contracts, this payment shall be made in-kind through delivery of the hydrocarbons produced. In the case of profit-sharing contracts, this payment shall be made in cash.
Bono a la Firma (Signing Bonus)
Upon execution of a licensing contract, a signing bonus is to be paid to the Mexican Government in an amount specified by the SHCP in the relevant bidding terms and conditions or in the contracts resulting from a migration.
Impuesto por la actividad de Exploración y Extracción de Hidrocarburos (Hydrocarbons Exploration and Extraction Activities Tax)
Contracts for exploration and extraction granted by the Mexican Government will include a specified tax on the exploration and extraction activities carried out in the relevant area. The monthly tax paid during the exploration phase and until the extraction phase begins is 2,374.84 pesos per square kilometer. During the extraction phase of a project, a monthly tax of 9,499.53 pesos per square kilometer is payable until the relevant contract for exploration and extraction or assignment is terminated. During 2025 and 2024 the incurred tax amounted to Ps. 237,153 and Ps. 226,854, respectively.

Tax regime applicable to Assignments (Effective until December 31, 2024)

The tax regime applicable to the exploration and production for the assignments granted to PEMEX by the Mexican Government includes the following taxes and duties:
A.    Derecho por la Utilidad Compartida “DUC” (Profit-sharing Duty).
As of January 1, 2015, Pemex Exploration and Production was obligated to pay a Profit-sharing Duty.
During 2024, the applicable rate of this duty was 30%. The computation of this duty is based on the excess of the value of hydrocarbons produced during the fiscal year (including self-consumption, shrinkage and burning), minus certain permitted deductions by the Hydrocarbons Revenue Law, including part of the investments and some costs, expenses and duties.
During 2024, this duty was Ps. 188,032,962 from annual payments presented on March 31, 2025 paid as follows: Ps. 124,178,852, of the corresponding Profit-sharing duty for the months of January, May, June and July 2024 in the amount of Ps. 63,122,712 resulting in a balance of Ps. 731,398 as of December 31, 2024.
Of the aforementioned decrees issued by the Federal Government, the first was published on February 13, 2024, in the Official Gazette of the Federation. It granted a tax benefit to PEMEX consisting of a tax credit equivalent to 100% of the Profit-Sharing Duty corresponding to the months of October, November, and December 2023, as well as January 2024.
The second decree was published on August 23, 2024, in the Official Gazette of the Federation. It granted a tax benefit to PEMEX consisting of a tax credit equivalent to 100% of the Profit-Sharing Duty corresponding to the months of May, June, and July 2024.
During fiscal year 2024, DUC payments for the months of May and June were deferred in accordance with the decrees granting tax benefits, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on June 25, and On July 25, 2024, the August payment was also deferred in accordance with the decrees granting tax benefits, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on September 25 and October 30, 2024. Finally, the month of October was deferred in accordance with the decree granting tax benefits, published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on November 22, 2024.
Duties and income tax paid as of 2024 and 2023 were Ps.109,402,970 and Ps.234,982,338, respectively.
The accounting result differs from the tax result mainly due to differences in depreciation, non-deductible expenses and others. Such differences generate a deferred DUC.
Total DUC and other as of 2024 and 2023 are integrated as follows:
20242023
DUCPs.124,910,249 Ps.207,212,856 
Deferred DUC expense2,588,760 6,863,068 
Total DUCPs.127,499,009 Ps.214,075,924 


The principal factors generating the deferred DUC are the following:

Deferred Profit-sharing duty liability:
Wells, pipelines, properties, plant and equipment— (195,705,735)
Deferred DUC asset net— 316,934,892 
Unrecognized Deferred DUC— (314,346,132)
Net, deferred DUC assetPs. 2,588,760 

Deferred DUC not recognized in 2023 amount to Ps. 314,346,132, and resulted from costs, expenses and capital expenditures that will not be recoverable, mainly for on-shore and in Chicontepec deep and shallow waters.

As a result of the changes to Petróleos Mexicanos implemented through the Energy Reform Decree on October 31, 2024 and the amendments introduced by the 2025 Federal Revenue Law, the calculation, recording, recognition and disclosure of the deferred DUC was suspended for balances of assets (liabilities) presentation for deferred profit-sharing duty by Assignments.
The remaining costs, expenses and capital expenditures beginning January 1, 2015 can be balanced to the immediate following years, without them expiring.
The expected expense for DUC in 2024 and 2023 was different from that which would result from applying the 40% rate to the tax base, respectively, as a result of the line items mentioned in the tables below.

B.    Derecho de Extracción de Hidrocarburos (Hydrocarbons Extraction Duty).
For the determination of the rates applicable to the calculation of this duty, SHCP considered the effects of variations in the U.S. producer price index, or another alternative index, when it determines the rate to be published in the Official Gazette of the Federation. This duty was calculated using a rate based on a formula applicable to each type of hydrocarbon (crude oil, associated natural gas, non-associated natural gas and condensates), the volume of production and utilizing the relevant market price for hydrocarbons in U.S. Dollars.
During 2024, Pemex Exploration and Production incurred a Ps.61,062,729 balance with the corresponding hydrocarbon extraction duty for the months of January, June and July 2024 in the amount of Ps.15,782,932 and the difference of Ps.45,279,797 was included in the cost of sales line item.

The before mentioned decrees were issued on February 13, 2024 and August 24, 2024, respectively by the Mexican Government and issued the Official Gazette of the Federation, suspending the collection of the Hydrocarbons Extraction Duty for the months of October, November, December 2023, January 2024 and May, June and July 2024, respectively.

On July 25, 2024 and September 25, 2024, extraction duty payments for the months from June and August, respectively, were deferred published in the Official Gazette of the Federation.

C.    Derecho de Exploración de Hidrocarburos (Exploration Hydrocarbons Duty).
Pemex Exploration and Production as “assignee” must make monthly payments for this duty. The rates for 2024 were 1,741.65 pesos per square kilometer of non-producing areas. After 60 months, this tax increases to 4,164.86 pesos per square kilometer for each additional month that the area is not producing. These amounts will be updated on an annual basis in accordance with the national consumer price index.
During 2024, Pemex Exploration and Production incurred Ps. 2,437,425 and which are included in the cost of sales line item.
Other applicable taxes
The Subsidiary Companies are subject to the Income Tax Law and the Value Added Tax Law. Petróleos Mexicanos is also subject to the Special Tax on Production and Services (IEPS Tax).
Indirect taxes are as listed below:
A.    IEPS Tax
IEPS Sobre la Venta de los Combustibles Automotrices (IEPS Tax on the Sale of Automotive Fuels): This tax is a fee on domestic sales of automotive fuels, gasoline and diesel. Petróleos Mexicanos collects the fee on behalf of the Mexican Government. The applicable fees for 2025 are Ps.6.46 per liter of gasoline with an octane rating lower than 91; Ps. 5.45 per liter of gasoline with an octane rating greater than or equal to 91 and Ps.7.09 per liter of diesel. The amount of the fee will depend on the class of fuel. The fee is fixed yearly and adjusted on a weekly basis by the SHCP. The fees apply to sales in Mexico and imports.
IEPS Beneficio de Entidades Federativas, Municipios y Demarcaciones Territoriales (IEPS Tax in Favor of States, Municipalities and Territories): This tax is a fee on domestic sales of automotive fuels, gasoline and diesel. PEMEX collects the fee on behalf of the Mexican Government. The applicable fees for 2025 are 56.98 cents per liter of gasoline with an octane rating of less than 91, 69.53 cents per liter of gasoline with an octane rating greater than or equal to 91 and 47.29 cents per liter of diesel. These fees change yearly in accordance with inflation. Funds gathered by this fee are allocated to Mexican states and municipalities as provided for in the Ley de Coordinación Fiscal (Tax Coordination Law). The fees only apply to sales in Mexico and are not subject to VAT.
IEPS a los Combustibles Fósiles (IEPS Tax on Fossil Fuels): This tax is a fee on domestic sales of fossil fuels. PEMEX collects the fee on behalf of the Mexican Government. The applicable fees for 2025 are 9.76 cents per liter of propane, 12.62 cents per liter of butane, 17.11 cents per liter of gasoline and aviation fuel, 20.44 cents per liter of jet fuel and other kerosene, 20.76 cents per liter of diesel, 22.16 cents per liter of fuel oil, Ps. 25.72 per ton of petroleum coke, Ps. 60.29 per ton of coal coke, Ps. 45.4 per ton of mineral carbon and Ps. 65.63 per ton of carbon from other fossil fuels. These fees change yearly in accordance with inflation and apply to imports to Mexico.
During 2024, the collection of the IEPS for the month of August 2024 was deferred to October the 20%, and November and December 2024, the 40% in each month, in accordance with the decree of tax benefits published on September 17, 2024 in the Official Gazette of the Federation.
B.    Value-Added Tax (“VAT”)
For VAT purposes, final monthly payments are determined based on PEMEX’s cash flow, in accordance with the provisions of the Value Added Tax Law, applicable to payers of this tax. The general rate to be applied is 16%. Certain activities with incentives will have the rate of 0%.
Beginning on January 1, 2019, a new Decree of fiscal incentives began to apply to the northern border region, which consisted of a credit equivalent to 50% of the general rate, applicable directly at the time of the sale or service. This incentive is applicable in six states in the northern border region and includes 43 municipalities in those states.
Petróleos Mexicanos and its former Subsidiary Entities apply this tax benefit to the operations they carry out within the municipalities of the States included in the Decree.
VAT is applied to the sale of goods, the rendering of services, the granting of the temporary use of goods in the national territory and the importation of goods and services to the national territory. VAT taxpayers transfer VAT to their customers and are entitled to credit the VAT paid to their suppliers and on their imports. The net balance between VAT transferred to customers and paid to suppliers and on imports results each month in the VAT to be paid to the tax authorities or in an
amount in favor of the taxpayer. The taxpayer has the right to credit VAT in favor against VAT payable in future months, to request a refund or to offset it against other payable federal taxes.
During 2024, the collection of the VAT for the month of August 2024 was deferred to October the 20%, and November and December 2024, the 40% in each month, in accordance with the decree of tax benefits published on September 17, 2024 in the Official Gazette of the Federation.

C.    Income Tax
Pursuant to the Energy Reform Decree, approved by Congress on October 17, 2024 and published on October 31, 2024,
and as further reflected in the 2025 Federal Revenue Law, Petróleos Mexicanos is no longer subject to income tax as of November 1, 2024 (and, prior to their dissolution, the former subsidiary entities were also exempt).

The Energy Reform Decree, which took effect on November 1, 2024, transformed the legal regime, of Petróleos Mexicanos and required the Mexican Congress to adopt implementing legislation within 180 calendar days. The Secondary Legislation was approved by Congress on March 12, 2025, signed into law by the President, and published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on March 18, 2025.

All of our subsidiary companies are subject to the Income Tax Law, which is calculated by applying a rate of 30% to the tax result. The tax result is determined as follows: taxable income is obtained by reducing the total accrued income earned during the fiscal year by the authorized deductions provided in Title II. The tax losses from prior years pending application shall, where applicable, be applied against the taxable income for the year.

Accounting result differs from taxable income primarily due to the effects of inflation and differences between depreciation and other non-deductible expenses.
For the years ended 2025 and 2024, Petróleos Mexicanos and its Subsidiary Companies incurred the following income tax expense (benefit):
