Electricity Your electricity bills are paid to a public utility (Luz y Fuerza del Centro). Unless you are the first to occupy your office or living space you should receive a bill every two months. This bill can be paid at any branch of most major banks (the list is on the back of the invoice). It can also be paid directly at any one of their locations (a list is available on-line at http://www.lfc.gob.mx/suc-01.html), which is also where one needs to go to apply for service. Their home page, at www.lfc.gob.mx promises an English language version along with its funky "Flash" animation and music.
WaterWater is paid directly to the Treasury of the Federal District, or to the treasury of the state where you live. Most state governments, including the District, allow you to pay at the branches of major banks. It is also charged once every two months. Natural Gas Natural gas, where required, is pumped from trucks that prowl the streets every few weeks (depending on the company and the area of town). Because there are a number of concessionaires it's best to ask the neighbors when they visit. Their rates are set by the government and the amount should be clearly stated somewhere on the outside of the vehicle. Return to top |

One of the first things foreigners notice when they arrive is the amount of maids and chauffeurs their friends have working for them in Mexico. Most expatriates are not used to having domestic help, especially not with live-in maids, for example, so most of them will find this new experience a pleasant change, although it could also prove to be a trying one.

When it comes to religion in Mexico, most religious denominations can find a place to worship in the city, although some complain about the lack of Muslim services. Jews and Christians are well catered to, seeing as there are plenty of synagogues and Catholic and Protestant churches in Mexico.
| | Mexican Taxes
I am always a little surprised at the number of people that we meet that believe Mexico is a bona fide tax haven. Mexico is a tax haven only to the extent that the country has not had the resources or will to enforce its own laws. In fact, the country has one of the lowest tax collections as a percentage of its GDP in Latin America.
