Receipts and CFDI records in Mexico

Create usable Mexico receipt records

A Mexico receipt record should help you show that a client paid, match the payment to the right invoice, and keep the fiscal details needed for follow-up. The practical output is a clean document with seller, buyer, amount, date, payment reference, and the related CFDI data where a tax invoice exists.

The receipt should not pretend to replace a Mexican tax invoice. In Mexico, a tax invoice is a Comprobante Fiscal Digital por Internet, or CFDI, and SAT states that CFDI version 4.0 has been the only valid version since April 1, 2023. Treat the receipt as payment evidence that points back to the certified CFDI.

Fields a Mexican receipt needs

Start with issuer data: RFC, name or business name, tax regime, and place and date of issue. Add recipient data when the receipt supports a CFDI workflow: RFC, recipient name, recipient tax regime, fiscal domicile postal code, and CFDI use. These details prevent rework when the buyer later asks for a matching fiscal record.

Line items need enough detail to match the underlying sale: quantity, unit of measure, description, unit value, amount, and tax object. Mexico's indirect tax is IVA, and 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%.

Match payment to CFDI status

A common mistake is treating payment status as a note in the comments instead of a structured field. For income invoices, SAT requires payment method and payment form. Use PUE with the applicable payment-form catalog code when paid in full at issuance, and use PPD with form 99 when payment is deferred or paid in installments.

A receipt record should also preserve the CFDI reference that proves the fiscal document exists. A valid CFDI carries the folio fiscal assigned by SAT and digital seals used for certification and verification. A seller-created receipt number helps internal filing, but it does not replace the folio fiscal on the certified invoice.

One-off template or billing workflow

A one-off template works for a paid invoice, a small client file, or a simple archive where you already have the CFDI details. It is enough when the receipt only needs to confirm payment, show the linked fiscal folio, and keep the amount, currency, IVA treatment, and payment method clear.

A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable time, expenses, rates, non-billable work, and client terms feed the invoice. Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates amounts from rates while excluding non-billable work, and supports client settings, taxes, discounts, payment terms, and accounting exports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Mexico receipt the same as a CFDI?

A receipt can acknowledge payment, but a Mexican tax invoice is a CFDI. SAT rules govern CFDI structure under CFF articles 29 and 29-A and Anexo 20. Use the receipt to document payment and link back to the certified CFDI, including the folio fiscal and SAT digital seal data.

Which RFC details belong on a Mexico receipt?

The issuer's RFC, name or business name, tax regime, and place and date of issue belong on the record when it supports a Mexican fiscal workflow. For CFDI 4.0 recipient data, SAT identifies RFC, recipient name, recipient tax regime, fiscal domicile postal code, and CFDI use as minimum recipient information.

Should a Mexico receipt show IVA separately?

A receipt tied to a taxable CFDI should preserve the IVA treatment shown on the invoice. Mexico's indirect tax is IVA, and CFF article 29-A requires transferred taxes to be shown separately by rate where applicable, along with withheld taxes. The general IVA rate is 16%, with zero-rated, exempt, or special treatment for some transactions.

Which payment code should a Mexico receipt preserve?

The receipt should preserve the payment method and payment form from the income invoice workflow. SAT requires PUE with the applicable payment-form catalog code when payment is made in full at issuance. SAT requires PPD with form 99 when payment is deferred or made in installments.

Can a Mexico receipt use a foreign currency?

A receipt can show a foreign-currency payment for business clarity, but the related CFDI data needs the Anexo 20 currency structure. CFDI includes the Moneda field, and when an invoice is issued in a currency other than Mexican pesos, the TipoCambio exchange-rate field is part of the CFDI data model.

How can Everhour turn billable work into invoices for Mexico clients?

Everhour Billing & Invoicing converts tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculates invoice amounts from project or member rates, and excludes non-billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another breakdown before export.

How does Everhour keep invoice status connected after export?

Everhour exports invoices to QuickBooks Online, Xero, or FreshBooks as drafts and syncs invoice status, invoice number, issue date, and amount back into Everhour. That keeps billing records connected to project and client work after the accounting handoff.

Turn paid work into invoices

Track billable time, expenses, rates, and client terms before billing starts. Everhour Billing & Invoicing turns approved work into invoice-ready records with cleaner handoff to accounting.
