Eligibility and Documentation:

Whether you are a "persona moral" (legal entity) or a "persona física" (individual), our firm assists you in understanding the specific eligibility criteria and documentation requirements for RFC registration. For a "persona moral," this typically involves providing legal documentation, such as the Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, and proof of legal existence. For a "persona física," you will need to provide identification documents, proof of address, and potentially other supporting documents.

Registration Application:

We help you complete the RFC registration application accurately and comprehensively, taking into account whether you are registering as a "persona moral" or a "persona física." This includes providing information about your business activities, legal structure (for "persona moral"), shareholders or owners (for both), and other relevant details. Our goal is to ensure that your application meets the requirements of the tax authorities and is processed smoothly.

E.firma Digital Signature:

As part of the RFC registration process, you may need to obtain an E.firma digital signature. The E.firma is a digital certificate issued by the Tax Administration Service (Servicio de Administración Tributaria, SAT) that allows you to electronically sign tax documents and conduct various transactions with the tax authorities online. Our firm guides you through the process of obtaining the e.firma, ensuring that you can securely and legally carry out online tax-related procedures, regardless of whether you are a "persona moral" or a "persona física."

Tax Obligations and Timelines:

After obtaining your RFC and e.firma (if required), it's important to understand your tax obligations and timelines. Our firm provides guidance on tax registration requirements, including periodic tax filings and payments. We ensure that you are aware of the applicable tax regulations and deadlines, helping you stay compliant and avoid penalties, whether you are operating as a "persona moral" or a "persona física."
