It would be up to Audit to define if any sanction is applied.
Pensioners whose payroll is stamped from other cities can make the clarification, says SAT.
After older adults, already retired, reported that they are being stamped payroll receipts from cities outside of La Laguna, by supposed companies with very varied amounts, Alberto Báez Castro, decentralized administrator of Taxpayer Services of Coahuila, said that they can make the corresponding clarification.
Various accounting firms in the region have found, during the integration of the Annual Declarations of individuals, that there is a constant in this problem, where the victims are older adults, who receive payroll receipts from supposed companies that are located in Veracruz, Mexico City, Culiacán and Michoacán, with receipts of 4 thousand, 16 thousand, 72 thousand pesos.
In this regard, the person in charge of the Tax Administration Service (SAT) in Torreón said that so far he has not received complaints, but that there is a program called Invoice Reconciliation, through which taxpayers can ignore these documents, therefore that the authority asks the company to cancel them and the citizen can remove them from their declaration.
Báez Castro said that it would be up to the Audit area to define whether any sanctions are applied to the company that issued these payroll receipts.
The Future of Retail: AI-Powered Exit Checks Coming to Sam’s Club Stores by 2024
Revolutionizing Retail: Sam’s Club Embraces AI-Powered Technology
Constellation Research founder R Ray Wang recently shared insights on the transformative impact of artificial intelligence in retail during a discussion at Barrons Roundtable.
Enhancing Customer Experience
Every Sam’s Club member is no stranger to the long lines that can form at store exits, especially during peak shopping hours, as customers wait for an associate to verify their purchases. However, Sam’s Club is set to revolutionize this process by implementing cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology across all its locations by the end of this year.
The Power of AI in Retail
At the Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year, the Walmart division unveiled an innovative AI-powered scanning system at store exits. This system captures images of shopping carts and verifies payment for all items in a member’s basket, significantly reducing wait times and enhancing overall efficiency.
Since its introduction, this new technology has already been deployed in 20% of Sam’s Club stores, with plans for a full rollout to all 600 locations by the end of 2024.
Customer Satisfaction and Efficiency
Sam’s Club reports that in stores where the AI scanners are in operation, over half of customers have experienced expedited exits, leading to a 23% reduction in wait times for all members. This streamlined process not only improves customer satisfaction but also allows Sam’s associates to focus on providing personalized assistance rather than managing exit checkpoints.
Industry-Leading Innovation
Sam’s Club takes pride in being at the forefront of AI adoption in the retail sector. The rapid deployment of its in-house developed AI exit technology marks the largest-scale implementation of AI-powered solutions for customer-facing interactions in the industry.
Setting the Standard
In a subtle nod to its competitors, Sam’s Club highlights the challenges faced by other retailers in deploying similar technologies at scale. While some are still in the early stages of pilot programs or have yet to prioritize enhancing customer experiences through advanced checkout and exit technologies, Sam’s Club is setting a new standard for innovation in the retail landscape.
Empowering Customers and Associates
By addressing a common pain point for customers and optimizing operational efficiency, Sam’s Club’s AI-powered exit technology not only enhances the overall shopping experience but also empowers associates to focus on delivering exceptional service to every member.
Overall, Sam’s Club’s strategic embrace of AI reflects a commitment to driving innovation and redefining the future of retail.

Apple Stock Surges 6% on Earnings Beat and Record Share Buyback Announcement
Apple’s stock price rose 6% on the 3rd (local time) as it posted earnings that beat market expectations and announced its biggest share buyback ever. This is the biggest increase since November 2022.

On this day, Apple’s stock price closed at $183.36 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 5.97%. The performance of the second quarter (January to March) of the 2024 financial year, announced after the market closed the previous day, exceeded expectations and the announcement of a $110 billion share buyback plan, the largest in history, led to a surge in stock. prices. Before the earnings announcement, Apple’s stock price had fallen nearly 10% this year, but today’s surge narrowed the decline for the year to 1.2%.
Last quarter, Apple’s earnings per share (EPS) were $1.53, beating market expectations of $1.50. Sales were $90.75 billion, beating expectations of $90.01 billion. However, overall sales fell by 4% compared to the same period last year. Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, explained that last quarter’s sales appear to be low due to the base effect due to the unusually fast increase in iPhone sales in the same period last year.
iPhone sales, which account for more than half of Apple’s sales, plunged more than 10%. Sales in Greater China, Apple’s third-largest market after the US and Europe, also fell 8%, but were significantly higher than market expectations.
Previously, the market research company Counterpoint Research said that iPhone sales in China in the first quarter fell by 19% compared to the previous year due to intense competition with domestic brands such as Huawei. However, Cook stressed that although sales in Greater China were down compared to the same period last year, they were increasing compared to the previous quarter thanks to the iPhone. “I feel good about China,” he said “I’m thinking more about the long-term outlook than the next few weeks.”
Although some concerns have been raised among investors about Apple’s core businesses, including the iPhone, Apple expects its hardware business to record low single-digit growth this year and its service division sales to increase significantly. Cook said he expects the new artificial intelligence (AI) features to boost hardware sales and will reveal more details about them in the coming weeks.
Experts expect Apple to unveil new AI features at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June. Apple will also hold a new iPad launch event next week.
“Apple’s stock buyback plan shows that we feel very good about the health of the company,” said Luca Maestri, Apple’s chief financial officer. “We have great confidence in the product we have in store for our customers,” he said “We are entering a very busy period in terms of new products.”
“The most important thing is that Apple’s business remains strong and is poised to accelerate growth over the next three quarters,” said Gene Munster, an analyst at Deepwater Asset Management “That’s why the stock is going up.” He said the amount of Apple’s share buyback exceeded his estimate of $90 billion, and that he was “confident in Apple for the rest of this year.”
Bank of America (BoA) selected Apple as its ‘top pick’ stock after the earnings announcement and maintained its investment view of ‘buy’. He also raised his target stock price from $225 to $230, saying he expects the iPhone to release AI features for the iPhone. BoA analyzed that “iPhone is growing in mainland China, forecasts have been revised positively, and productive AI capabilities will drive a strong upgrade cycle.”
Ahead of next week’s new iPad launch event, JP Morgan raised Apple’s target stock price from $210 to $225, saying, “Expectations for a lower headwind for iPad are driven by the flexible iPhone sales and upgrade cycle compared to with the previous year have been created.” “Overall, modest year-over-year revenue growth may not be the ideal outcome, but product cycle tailwinds across hardware devices and the AI-led smartphone cycle will fuel further growth, creating opportunities for higher revenues in the coming years,” JP Morgan said.
Morgan Stanley raised its target price on Apple from $210 to $216, citing last quarter’s performance, March’s year-over-year growth in iPhone shipments in China, share buybacks, and the possibility of future AI updates, and said, “The reason I do You don’t have a strong opinion on Apple right now is “It’s hard,” he said.
