What is the IEDU Complement?
The Private Educational Institutions Concept Complement (IEDU) is an additional element in electronic invoices (CFDI) that includes specific information about tuition payments in private schools. This complement allows taxpayers to deduct these payments in their annual Income Tax (ISR) return.
Who can issue a CFDI with the IEDU Complement?
Only private educational institutions that meet the following criteria can issue invoices with this complement:
• Be incorporated into the National Education System.
• Have authorization or official recognition of studies (RVOE) granted by the Ministry of Public Education (SEP) or state educational authorities.
Who is it for?
The IEDU complement is aimed at taxpayers who make payments for educational services and wish to deduct them in their annual tax return, including:
• Parents or guardians who pay tuition for their children.
• Individuals who pay for someone else’s education, provided the payment is made via check, bank transfer, debit, or credit card (cash payments are not deductible).
