Can a company credit the IEPS on its fleet fuel?

As a rule, no: for a business consuming the fuel in its operations, IEPS is part of the per-liter cost, not a recoverable tax.

Where do I track the weekly IEPS stimulus?

In the SHCP's weekly decree published in the Official Gazette (DOF), listing the stimulus percentage per fuel type.

How IEPS raises the cost of every fleet liter in 2026, why it is not creditable like VAT, and which levers remain for the CFO when the quota rises.

Summary

Mexico's IEPS on motor fuels is a fixed per-liter quota, inflation-adjusted yearly and cushioned by weekly SHCP stimulus decrees in the DOF that can vanish any week. Unlike VAT it is not creditable — it is cost. The CFO's levers: automatic CFDI on every fill-up, fuel-efficiency programs and budgeting under full, partial and zero stimulus scenarios.
