A Mexico invoice is a standardized electronic CFDI, not a plain PDF with a seller-created invoice number. SAT states that CFDI 4.0 has been the only valid version since April 1, 2023. The legal and technical basis comes from CFF articles 29 and 29-A and SAT's Anexo 20 rules, so the invoice data must match the official structure before certification.
You use the page to assemble the commercial details behind the invoice: seller data, buyer data, line items, payment terms, currency, and tax treatment. A generated draft helps you review the amounts and descriptions before the CFDI is issued through the proper SAT-compliant process. For Mexico, the useful output is a clean billing record that mirrors the fields a certified CFDI requires.
The RFC is the tax identifier used on Mexican invoices for the issuer and, where applicable, the recipient. For CFDI 4.0, SAT identifies the minimum recipient data as RFC, recipient name, recipient tax regime, fiscal domicile postal code, and the fiscal use to be given to the invoice. Missing or mismatched recipient data creates rework because the certified invoice must reflect the buyer's registered fiscal details.
Issuer information also needs structure. CFF article 29-A and SAT CFDI 4.0 guidance require issuer identification, including RFC, name or business name, tax regime, and the place and date of issuance. Line items should show quantity, unit of measure, description, unit value, amount, and whether the concept is subject to tax. A service line such as consulting, 10 hours, MXN 900 per hour, should state the unit and tax object clearly.
Mexico's indirect tax shown on invoices is Impuesto al Valor Agregado, or IVA. CFF article 29-A requires transferred taxes to be shown separately by rate where applicable, along with any withheld taxes. The general IVA rate under Mexico's VAT law is 16%, while some transactions may be zero-rated, exempt, or subject to special treatment, so the CFDI tax object and tax lines depend on the transaction.
Payment timing also belongs in the invoice data. For income invoices, SAT requires payment method and payment form: use PPD with form 99 when payment is deferred or in installments, and use PUE with the applicable payment-form catalog code when paid in full at issuance. CFDI also uses currency data through Moneda, and TipoCambio applies when the invoice uses a currency other than Mexican pesos.
A free invoice draft is enough when you need one Mexico-ready billing record, the client details are known, and someone else will certify the final CFDI. The draft helps check line descriptions, payment code choices, and IVA presentation before the invoice moves into the official electronic process. Keep the certified folio fiscal and SAT digital seal attached to the final record after issuance.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable hours, expenses, project rates, discounts, and client payment terms feed many invoices. Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates while excluding non-billable tasks, and supports client settings and invoice customization. It also exports invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks, with status syncing back to Everhour.

A tax invoice in Mexico is a Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet, or CFDI. SAT states that CFDI 4.0 has been the only valid version since April 1, 2023. A simple PDF or spreadsheet invoice can help with internal review, but the tax invoice must follow SAT's CFDI technical structure and certification process.
SAT identifies the minimum recipient data for CFDI 4.0 as RFC, recipient name, recipient tax regime, fiscal domicile postal code, and the fiscal use to be given to the invoice. Use the buyer's registered fiscal data, since a nickname, trade name, or wrong postal code can force a correction before payment approval.
The general IVA rate under Mexico's VAT law is 16%, but some transactions may be zero-rated, exempt, or subject to special treatment. The CFDI tax object and tax lines depend on the transaction. A compliant invoice shows transferred taxes separately by rate where applicable, along with any withheld taxes.
Use PPD with payment form 99 when payment is deferred or paid in installments. Use PUE with the applicable payment-form catalog code when the invoice is paid in full at issuance. This choice should match the real payment arrangement, since it affects the invoice's SAT payment-method data.
A valid CFDI carries the folio assigned by SAT and digital seals used for certification and verification. A seller-created invoice number is useful for internal tracking, but it does not replace the folio fiscal or the SAT digital seal on the certified electronic invoice.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates invoice amounts from rates, and excludes non-billable tasks. Client records can hold contact details, tax rate, discount, and payment terms, so recurring billing uses consistent defaults.
Generate invoices from approved billable time, expenses, rates, and client terms. Everhour keeps invoice status connected to project billing records.
