I'm still not 100% sure, but since there was already a section dealing with income tax, and this came under the section "Personas con actividades empresariales" it made the most sense to me. Gracias!

DEF – A discounted measure of project worth. The present worth of the benefit stream divided by the present worth of the cost stream. Often abbreviated "B/C ratio." Source
CONT – When the benefit-cost ratio is used, the selection criterion is to accept all independent projects with a benefit-cost ratio of 1 or greater when discounted at a suitable discount rate, most often the opportunity cost of capital. May give incorrect ranking among independent projects, and cannot be used for choosing among mutually exclusive alternatives. Source

DEF – Quotient de la valeur
quantitative des avantages tirés d'une activité, d'un programme ou d'un projet, par les coûts afférents à cette activité, ce programme ou ce projet. Source

OBS – Dans l'expression ratio coûts-bénéfices, le mot «bénéfice» n'a pas le sens comptable, mais plutôt le sens courant des dictionnaires généraux. Source

DEF – Es una medida actualizada del valor del proyecto. Es el valor actual de la corriente de beneficios dividido por el valor actual de la corriente de costos. Source

CONT – Cuando se utiliza la relación beneficios-costos, el criterio de selección es aceptar todos los proyectos independientes con una relación beneficios-costos de uno o mayor cuando se actualiza a una tasa de actualización adecuada, muy a menudo el costo de oportunidad del capital. Puede dar una clasificación incorrecta entre proyectos
independientes, y no puede utilizarse para elegir entre opciones mutuamente excluyentes. Source

profit coefficient


Explanation:
Better late than never...

I wasn't 100% convinced by any of the previous answers. I found this: https://www.buyusa.gov/mexico/en/437.pdf
where "coeficiente de utilidad" is explained thus:

"Mexican entities are required to make monthly provisional payments of income tax. Payments are calculated by applying a **profit coefficient** to the aggregate income obtained from the beginning of the fiscal year to the last month for which the payment is made."

See also http://tinyurl.com/2ttx6f (top of page 2) where the same text is side-by-side in English and Spanish, referring to the concept as "profit coefficient" in the former and "coeficiente de utilidad" in the latter.

Also see http://www.mexicodataonline.com/taxes.html ("Provisional payments")
