The case

What Quintana Roo gives you

Why the 4.0% rate is what it is

Quintana Roo levies the highest payroll tax on this list, and it is worth understanding rather than simply pricing. A service economy with a highly mobile workforce carries infrastructure costs that a manufacturing state does not, and the ISN is what funds them.

Multimodal logistics and fulfilment

Tren Maya freight changes what can be moved into and out of the peninsula economically, and the retail and e-commerce fulfilment case follows from it. This is a distribution argument rather than a production one.
