RFC Challenges Foreigners Face
Foreigners need RFC for many reasons but the process is confusing:
- Don't know which tax regime to choose: SAT has multiple tax regimes (residente fiscal, sin obligaciones fiscales, actividad empresarial). Choosing wrong one creates problems. We determine the correct regime for your situation.
- Language barrier at SAT offices: SAT staff rarely speak English. Explaining your situation and understanding requirements is difficult. We handle communication.
- Incomplete or incorrect documents: Missing or improperly formatted documents mean rejected applications and wasted trips to SAT. We ensure everything is correct before submission.
- Not understanding tax obligations: Getting RFC is just the start—you need to know what you must file and when. We explain your specific obligations clearly.
- E.firma technical difficulties: The e.firma process is complex with specific technical requirements. Many fail and give up. We complete it for you.
