In this article we intend to answer frequently asked questions when selling on Amazon Mexico related to the RFC.

Amazon Mexico requires that all sellers who intend to sell by shipping merchandise from Mexico complete the information regarding their Federal Taxpayer Registry (RFC), for which you will require your Proof of Fiscal Situation (CFS).

If I am a taxpayer in Mexico, what information must I provide to amazon mexico?

You will have to provide your RFCs and CSFs, which are issued by the Tax Administration Service (SAT) in Mexico.

What is the RFC and who issues it?

The Federal Taxpayer Registry is the tax identification number issued by the SAT in Mexico

What is the CFS and who issues it?

The proof of tax situation is the document issued by the Tax Administration Service in Mexico that identifies your tax situation in the country.

In case of being a foreign seller, not resident in Mexico and I do not have an RFC. Do I need to provide the RFC to Amazon Mexico?

If you ship from Mexico or have information in your Amazon account such as the address, you could be subject to ISR and VAT tax withholdings. Therefore, the information in CSF helps Amazon determine if these withholding taxes apply to you.

How does VAT affect my Amazon seller account?

If you are a seller located in Mexico, your sales will be charged with the 16% of the Value Added Tax (VAT)

We hope that the answers to these frequently asked questions will help you understand more about the RFC procedure in Mexico.
