Last Friday, the Tax Administration Service (SAT) announced that it will temporarily suspend the tax identification number (RFC) for individuals or legal entities that have presented irregularities in their tax situation. This measure implies that taxpayers whose RFC is suspended will not be able to issue invoices or carry out economic activities formally until they regularize their situation with the tax authority.
According to the SAT's statement, the suspension of the RFC will be carried out in cases where inconsistencies are detected in the information provided by taxpayers, non-compliance with their tax obligations, or the presumed use of false invoices. The measure aims to prevent tax evasion and promote compliance with tax regulations in the country.
This temporary suspension of the RFC will have immediate effects on the affected taxpayers, who must address the observations made by the SAT to restore their tax situation. If the irregularities are not corrected within a specified time frame, the suspension could lead to the definitive cancellation of the RFC, further restricting the commercial operations of the taxpayers.
In the words of the SAT: "The suspension of the RFC primarily aims to encourage taxpayers to regularize their tax situation and prevent practices that harm tax collection and the economy of the country." This announcement reinforces the importance of compliance with tax obligations and transparency in commercial operations, in line with the auditing policies implemented by the tax authority.
