What you should know about a sales contract

What is a sales contract?

A contract of sale is a legal document where a person who is selling a good, agrees to deliver it in exchange for the money he is requesting and a buyer is obliged to pay it. This legal document is the best way to make a sale to prevent fraud when acquiring what is being purchased, knowing the parts of the sale contract and its basic components. It is particularly used for the sale of properties, vehicles, etc.

Regarding its concept, the Federal Civil Code establishes its definition in its article 2248; There will be a sale and purchase when one of the contracting parties is obliged to transfer ownership of a thing or a right, and the other in turn is obliged to pay a certain price for them and in money. However, a simple concept is when you exchange ownership of an asset for money.

What cannot be sold?

What is not your property.

There are impediments to selling and buying, when this happens it is called legal incapacity, which refers to a state of limitation of the ability to exercise rights, in this case, certain people have limitations to buy or sell certain goods, which in case If it happens, the contract will be null and void.

Some of the reasons why this act cannot be performed are:

  1. Wanting to sell someone else’s something since that is null and void.
  2. Foreigners are limited in terms of the quantity and location of the properties they want to acquire and must also request permission from the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Relations.
  3. Neither the judges, magistrates nor any other judicial official, as well as the employees of the prosecutor’s offices, can buy the goods that are the object of trials in which they participate.
  4. Underage children and adolescents cannot sell if it is not with judicial authorization and through their representatives, who in turn cannot buy those goods.
  5. Co-owners can only sell to their co-owners, unless they give their authorization.

 

What obligations are there in the contract?


The obligation of the seller is to deliver the goods that are declared in this contract, as well as to guarantee that the good is in order and in case of eviction, that is, if there was any debt on the part of the seller before the purchase had been made. , the seller will have the duty to indemnify you.

On the other hand, the obligations of the buyer are those established in the contract and of course the payment of the price as agreed.

What happens if the contract of sale is not fulfilled?

Failure by either party, as in most contracts, gives them the right to demand the termination or performance of the contract. The execution is in the sense of forcing the delivery of the good or the payment and the termination implies that the money or the thing is returned, depending on the party that defaults.

Perfection of the contract of sale

The purchase-sale contract does not require any special formality for its validity, but only when it falls on a property. That is, the sale of real estate will not produce effects against third parties until after it is registered with the Public Property Registry.

Do you have to pay taxes for the purchase?

In tax terms, sales contracts may be subject to:

  • The ISR regarding the profit obtained in the operation, either by the buyer or the seller.
  • VAT on the final price of the purchase.
  • The IEPS is also applied to the purchase price.
  • The ISABI that is applied on values ​​that can be cadastral, commercial or on the purchase price.

Naturally, this depends on the type of property in question, with various applicable rates, exemptions and deductions.
