Mexico RFC, full name Registro Federal de Contribuyentes, the Chinese name of the Mexican tax registration number, is the business registration number in the Mexican government, equivalent to the tax registration number.
Once a business has registered an RFC, it can issue a compliant CFDI e-invoice to the buyer.
In order to make it easier for taxpayers to fulfill their tax obligations, the Mexican National Tax Administration SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria) has issued a tax news release that the new e-invoice CFDI version 4.0 will be mandatory as of April 1, 2023, i.e., all taxpayers will be required to use the new CFDI version 4.0 for the e-invoice issuance. The new e-invoice CFDI version 3.3 will be available until March 31, 2023 for all taxpayers.
At the same time, taxpayers are required to update their tax information in the tax system in a timely manner, for example:
1) RFC registration number;
(2) Name or company name;
(3) Postcode of tax address.
Amazon.com has also released an updated "Tax Information Verification" notice.
