Proof and fiscal cards are different documents
The card and fiscal record are different documents and serve for different purposes. The fiscal card, now with QR, is exclusively to request an invoice from service providers or sellers of property, while the proof of fiscal situation contains more detailed data such as the taxpayer’s tax domicile, CURP and tax obligations. This is usually requested from taxpayers, by employers or patterns that are about to hire them or make a contractual operation.
“In the proof of fiscal situation it may appear that I have income from dividends and then you can know that I am a company partner, and that, in my opinion, can be delicate, so the ID only contains the necessary data to bill, no more,” said the specialist of the CCPM.
