Bottom Line Up Front
Today’s verdict: The World Cup knockouts have come home to Latin America — Paraguay stunned Germany and Brazil are through — as Mexico play the Azteca’s first knockout tonight, Uruguay’s tax starts tomorrow, and Mexico tightens its work-visa paperwork.
The knockouts come home. Paraguay knocked out four-time champions Germany on penalties, and Brazil edged Japan to reach the last 16. Mexico play Ecuador at the Azteca tonight, the stadium’s first knockout match.
Mexico tightens work visas. A May reform now demands far more detail on employer job offers, from work modality to exact addresses and pay. Nomads on the solvency route are unaffected.
Uruguay’s tax starts tomorrow. The 12% tax on foreign capital income begins collecting on July 1. New residents should lock in their one-time regime choice first.
