- The Registro Federal de Contribuyentes (RFC) is Mexico’s federal taxpayer registration, administered by Mexico’s Servicio de Administratión Tributaria (SAT).
- It is required for all businesses and individuals conducting commercial activities in Mexico, including foreign online merchants and marketplace platforms. The RFC serves as a unique identification number similar to an SSN or EIN, allowing entities to comply with tax laws and issue digital invoices.
- To obtain an RFC as a foreign seller, you must determine your tax residency status, gather required documents, file online or visit an SAT office, and receive your 13-digit RFC number.
- It is essential for legally operating in Mexico and complying with tax obligations.
