This is why Wal-Mart paid millions in taxes to the Mexican government 

We’ve been told that those who think Wal-Mar t kindly decided to pay MXN 8,500 million in taxes are wrong. Yet the truth is the payment was the result of a compensation agreement . Wal-Mart was sued for cheating in order to avoid paying income tax in 2014, which amounted to MXN 1,357 million. Although the SAT reached out to the company several times, it was only when authorities filed a lawsuit that Wal-Mart decided to pay its debt to about legal repercussions. We’ve been told that although the compensation agreement will set a precedent, it will prevent the company from celebrating another agreement for the same crimes in the future. Although the lawsuit filed before Fiscal Prosecutor's Office only considered MXN 1,300 million, to end the legal process Wal-Mart de México had to pay MXN 8,500 million.
