Specialized Services Registry Update: 7,504 Companies Renewed
Three years after the outsourcing reform, the Registry of Providers of Specialized Services or Specialized Works (Repse) has begun issuing permits to prevent subcontracting. The renewal process started on March 1, 2024, and so far, 7,504 companies have renewed their registration. However, only 63% of companies in the registry have completed the process.
The authorities are still waiting for 2,600 companies (22%) to update their data to avoid potential rejections. Reasons for non-renewal include:
Failure to meet renewal requirements (15%)
Unmet tax or social security obligations
Security companies lacking valid permits
Capturing activities outside their corporate purpose
* Duplicating activities
Registration for Repse is available online through the SAT, IMSS, and Infonavit platforms. Rejections are primarily due to missing or improperly presented documents.
The system is functioning without technical issues, and the regulations have not changed. Jesus Guillermo Mendieta Gonzalez, a spokesperson for the Technical Commission for Fiscal Audit, emphasized that Repse aims to prevent outsourcing.
The new regime allows for specialized services or works unrelated to the company’s primary focus. This eliminates the previous benefits associated with outsourcing, such as PTU contributions and profit sharing.
Those interested can visit the Ministry of Labor and Social Security at Félix Cuevas 301 in Del Valle neighborhood to clarify the renewal process and obtain assistance with any rejections.
