Q2 2026 MX corporate event: Teachers Day, Mothers Day, and graduation season — the four most sensitive dates on the spring calendar

Q2 packs four of the most sensitive corporate dates on the Mexican calendar: Teachers Day on May 15, Mothers Day on May 10 (some firms shift celebrations by a week), university and graduate school commencement ceremonies at ITAM, UNAM, IPN, Tec de Monterrey, Anáhuac, and the private universities of the Bajío, and the close of the fiscal calendar with the March 31 annual return filing for moral persons.

Privacy and tax compliance

Personal data handling complies with the LFPDPPP: the names of mother-collaborators, of mothers of collaborators, of teachers, and of graduates are used only for personalization of the piece and are purged from our systems 90 days after delivery. The collaborator's home address for Mothers Day shipping is treated as sensitive personal data and is requested through the privacy notice published on the corporate site. Invoicing issues under CFDI 4.0 to the SAT with 16% IVA breakdown.

For corporates delivering Mothers Day gifts as part of the Public Relations program, deductibility applies when the gift does not exceed the Article 93 LISR taxable gift limit and delivery is documented with recipient signature or courier proof of delivery. For corporates delivering graduation gifts as part of the Training program, deductibility applies when the corporate substantiates the scholarship program and the gift links to the official ceremony. We retain supporting documentation for five years for any SAT review.
