Mercado Libre Mexico Launches RFC Tax Compliance Verification
Mercado Libre Mexico has initiated the verification of RFC tax registration number consistency. If information does not match, the platform will remove the RFC and recalculate historical orders at a 36% tax rate, with the difference deducted from the balance from July 1. Sellers must quickly verify RFC consistency with their store entities to avoid account balance depletion.
What are the key facts?
- 1Verification target: RFC tax registration number
- 2Retroactive deduction tax difference: 25.5%
- 3Effective date: From July 1
What happened?
Mercado Libre Mexico has officially launched the verification of RFC tax registration number consistency. If a seller's bound RFC does not match the legal entity information of the store, the platform will remove that RFC and will recalculate historically withheld orders at the 10.5% tax rate, applying the 36% rate retroactively, with a 25.5% difference deducted from July 1.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Tax compliance has become a red line for operations on the Mexico site; sellers must ensure their tax information is completely consistent with the store entity, or they will face serious risks of fund deductions due to historical discrepancies.
