The Tax Administration System (SAT) is the official administrative entity in charge of manually collecting and handling various taxes due to the government for citizens of Mexico. Giving oneself the status of a taxpayer with the SAT is a simple procedure to be followed and, although recent changes are still being made, in this article we will look at the necessary requirements to activate the status of being a Persona Fisica and being able to pay taxes.
The first requirement is to prove that the taxpayer is a physical person and to do so, a valid official ID is needed, either INE (National Electoral Institute) or passport.
Secondly, a RFC Individual Code must be requested. To do this, you must enter the SAT page and the information marked with an asterisk must be completed, such as name, date of birth, etc.
The last requirement is to obtain a Digital Taxpayer’s Key. This is done in the same place as the previous one, through a series of steps:
• First, an access code must be requested and when it is received, it will be necessary to validate this code.
• Secondly, a user must be registered, for which various personal and contact information will be requested.
• Lastly, with all the information provided, the Key will be generated with 16 numerical digits that will allow the person’s operations within the SAT platform.
Once all the requirements are fulfilled, you can access the services of the platform and make all the necessary payments.
In summary, being activated as a physical person with the SAT is a simple procedure that requires: a valid official ID (INE or passport), a RFC Individual Code and a Digital Taxpayer’s Key. By completing all the requirements and verifying them carefully, the taxpayer will have access to all the services offered by the taxation platform.
