flag A 1% U.S. tax on remittances took effect January 1, 2026, under President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, impacting cash, checks, and money orders sent abroad but exempting digital transfers. flag This follows a year-to-date 5.08% decline in U.S. remittances to Mexico, with seven consecutive monthly drops, attributed to stricter immigration policies and reduced migrant labor participation. flag Remittances are projected to fall to $61 billion in 2025 from $64.7 billion in 2024, affecting millions in rural border regions where they make up a critical part of household income and 3.5% of Mexico’s GDP. flag In response, Mexico plans to launch a reimbursement program to offset the tax burden on recipients.
