Public Registry of Contractors of Specialized Services or Specialized Works

In accordance with the recent labor subcontracting reform, that is, the decree by which various provisions of the Federal Labor Law, the Social Security Law, the Law of the National Workers’ Housing Fund Institute, the Federal Tax Code, the Income Tax Law, the Value Added Tax Law, among others, the providers of services or specialized works are required to register before the Registry of Providers of Specialized Services or Specialized Works (REPSE) of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, for which they have a term until September 1, 2021.

It should be recalled that, under the terms of the relevant reform, the subcontracting of specialized services or the execution of specialized works that are not part of the corporate purpose or the main economic activity of the beneficiary of such services is permitted, provided that the contractor is registered in the public registry referred to in Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law.

In order to register, individuals or legal entities that provide specialized services or perform specialized works and make employees available to the contractor, must enter the portal https://repse.stps.gob.mx/ and once the registration is obtained, they must, among other things, include the registration number in the contract they enter into with their clients, as well as the folios of the activities of the corporate purpose or the tax status certificate registered with the REPSE. Each provider will have as many folios as services or specialized works registered with the REPSE.

In the context of the aforementioned, the Ministry of Labor, in compliance with the provisions of Article 15 of the Federal Labor Law, which sets forth the obligation to publish in an internet portal the list of individuals or legal entities that obtain the registration, has issued the public version of the Public List of Contractors of Specialized Services or Specialized Works in the aforementioned electronic portal.

This registry contains the registration number of each service provider or specialized works, as well as the entity in which it is located, the date of registration and the services it provides. We recommend consulting the Register to confirm the compliance of your service or specialized works providers with the concerning obligation.

Should you require further information in relation to this subject or advice to obtain the relevant registration, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,
