Mexico. OK, so "Personas Morales" are legal entities (yes, I have consulted the glossaries) and I would normally have no qualms about translating Régimen General as "general regime", but what is puzzling me is why I can't find an "official" translation into English. If you click on the "English" link on the SAT website, it infuriatingly whisks me away to a page on tax issues for "extranjeros" rather than displaying a translated version (even an MT version would be better than nothing) of the "Régimen General de Personas Morales" page in question.
And if I run a Google search for "General Regime for Legal Entities" the only result I get is this:

Neil: it is likely that there is no "official" translation into English. I don´t see an issue in using "general regime for legal entities", but I am not sure what you are really searching for.
I assume you saw this one which has "Legal Regime of Legal Entities" which would be redundant ("legal"):

and

its subsidiary and affiliate companies will start to meet their tax obligations in terms of
Title II of the Income Tax Law, which regulates the ***general regime of [for] legal entities***, in
accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the LCFE. [for] is my doing.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for posting. I've now translated it as "General Regime for Legal Entities" and delivered it. At least it's no longer "General regimen of moral people"... :-) |
| PD: By "official" in cases like this I tend to mean "the most widely use and accepted" translation. |

: Yes. With the one Neil's already found, I would have no qualms about "general (tax) regime for legal entities".

Thanks Charles. Nor would I. I think "General Tax Regime for Legal Entities" would suffice.

Here are a couple of alternatives with "legal person" to add to your collection:
"Fund profits are subject to the general income tax regime for legal persons" (re. Mexico)

"The general tax regime for legal persons applies only where the cooperative society does not fulfil conditions specific to cooperatives" (re. Italy)
