Shopee Mexico Implements New 3PF Seller Tax Rules: RFC-Based Withholding to Take Effect in June

June 8th News: In accordance with the latest compliance requirements from Mexico's Tax Administration Service (SAT), Shopee Mexico will officially implement new tax regulations for orders fulfilled by third-party fulfillment (3PF) sellers starting June 1, 2026. The platform will automatically display and collect Value-Added Tax (VAT) and Income Tax from buyers on the order settlement page based on the business information and RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes, or Taxpayer Identification Number) credentials provided by sellers, eliminating the need for sellers to adjust prices manually. The new policy follows a two-step review process: Sellers must first complete a local business questionnaire, based on which the platform determines whether further submission of RFC documentation is required. If the initial assessment indicates submission is necessary, sellers must ensure the RFC category strictly matches and corresponds with the registered business entity. Providing false information will lead to a failed review. The final tax rate will be categorized as either a standard rate or an exempt rate based on the RFC status. All tax calculations and payments will be handled automatically by the platform. Sellers only need to ensure their tax information is authentic and valid to avoid being subject to a higher default tax rate due to missing information. [This article is sourced from Ebrun Go.
