The Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) assigns a unique number to any company that advances in the system as its patronage register. This number is required to complete any task associated with the services provided by the IMSS, such as the payment of patronage fees, employee affiliation, and request for services, among others. This article will cover how to check an IMSS patronal record as well as some frequently asked questions about the subject.
Enter the official IMSS website and take the following steps to check an organization’s patronal IMSS registration:
1. Enter the “Patronal Affiliation” section. 2. Choosing the “Consult a patronymic registration” option. 3. Entering the company’s patronymic registration number to be checked. 4. Writing down the security code that appears on the screen. 5. Pushing the “Consultar” button.
If the entered data is accurate, the information associated with the patronage record will be displayed. This information may include the company name, its fiscal address, its date of incorporation, the regime to which it belongs, and other pertinent information.
The patronymic number is known as “Registro Tributario Unificado” (RTU) in Guatemala and is available online at the Superintendencia de Administración Tributaria (SAT) website. The following steps must be taken in order to achieve this:
1. Log on to the SAT website. 2. Choose the “RTU in Line” option.
3. Entering the company’s tax identification number (NIT). 4. Writing down the security code that appears on the screen. 5. Pushing the “Consultar” button.
What is the RFC called in English?
El Registro Federal de Contribuyentes (RFC) is a tax identification number used in Mexico to identify the physical and moral entities that engage in economic activity. It is known as the “Federal Taxpayer Registry” in English.
An international business doing economic activities in Mexico may be granted a temporary RFC in order to fulfill its tax obligations. This 180-day RFC temporal is obtained on the SAT’s website.
Depending on their immigration and financial situation, foreigners who engage in economic activity in Mexico may obtain a temporary or permanent RFC. It is necessary to submit specific documentation to the SAT office that corresponds to your place of residence in order to obtain an RFC.
