- Mexico’s Tax Administration Service (SAT) will fine taxpayers over 100,000 pesos for improperly requiring a Tax Status Certificate (CSF) to issue electronic invoices.
- The CSF is not mandatory for issuing electronic invoices; only the recipient’s RFC, name or business name, postal code, and tax regime are required.
- Employers should not request a CSF from employees for payroll; tax information updates should follow official procedures.
- The CSF contains sensitive personal information and is only updated when taxpayer data changes.
- SAT urges strict compliance with tax rules to avoid penalties and aims to standardize invoicing practices and protect taxpayer information.
