Mexican clients will not pay without a valid CFDI showing their exact RFC (tax ID), business name and postal code as registered with the SAT — a mismatch causes automatic rejection, making data verification the first step of Mexican invoicing. Invoices must state the payment method codes (PUE for single up-front payment, PPD for deferred) and, for PPD invoices, a payment complement must be issued when funds arrive. Corporate payments travel by SPEI, the central bank's near-instant transfer system, with terms of 30 days common but large retailers notorious for 60-90 day cycles. IVA is 16% nationally (8% in the northern and southern border zones), and services from individuals to companies carry IVA and ISR withholdings shown on the CFDI.
Step 1. Open the Mexico invoice generator. Currency and tax are pre-loaded for you. Fill in your business details and logo; signed in, the company profile you save under Settings fills them in for you.
Step 2. Add your customer and your line items. Quantity, unit price and tax update the totals automatically. Switch language between Arabic & English as needed; Xuvilo flips the layout to RTL or LTR for you.
Step 3. Click "Download PDF". Your Mexico invoice is generated as a print-ready A4 file in MXN, ready to email to the client or attach to your accounting system.
Mexico applies 16% IVA on most invoiced goods and services, so Xuvilo defaults the tax rate to 16% IVA on the Mexico invoice. You can override the rate per line, exclude exempt items, or add multiple tax components if your business requires it.
The tax authority responsible for Mexico is Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT). Mexico has no VAT registration threshold — anyone with business activity must obtain an RFC and invoice through CFDI, though simplified regimes such as RESICO reduce income-tax burdens for receipts up to MXN 3.5 million — verify with the SAT.
Mexico has universal mandatory e-invoicing: every taxpayer, down to individual freelancers, must issue CFDI 4.0 electronic invoices that are digitally stamped by the SAT or an authorised certification provider (PAC) before they are valid — there is no paper alternative. The CFDI ecosystem extends beyond sales invoices to payroll receipts, payment-receipt complements (complemento de recepción de pagos) for invoices paid later, and transport documents (carta porte). The regime is mature and strictly enforced; verify current CFDI version requirements with the SAT.
Xuvilo isn't only an invoice generator. The same business profile powers a free quotation generator for sending price quotes before a deal is signed, a free receipt generator for confirming payments after they're made, and a 859 template library for industry-specific designs. Most Mexico businesses go through quote → invoice → receipt for every project, and Xuvilo covers all three.
IVA is 16% across most of Mexico, reduced to 8% in the designated northern and southern border regions, and 0% applies to exports and certain essentials. The CFDI XML itemises the tax per line, and B2B services from individuals typically also show two-thirds IVA withholding plus ISR withholding retained by the corporate client.
Completely — every invoice must be a CFDI 4.0 XML stamped by the SAT or a PAC certification provider, and unstamped documents have no tax effect. Even freelancers and landlords invoice through CFDI, usually via the SAT's free portal or commercial invoicing software.
Yes — CFDIs support foreign currencies with the exchange rate recorded in the XML, and border businesses invoice in USD routinely. For foreign clients without an RFC, you issue the CFDI to the generic foreign RFC (XEXX010101000); exports of services can be 0% rated depending on the service type — confirm treatment with the SAT.
When you issue an invoice as PPD (payment in instalments or deferred), Mexican rules require a payment-receipt complement CFDI within days after each payment actually lands, tying the money to the original invoice's UUID. Clients often chase suppliers for these complements because they need them to deduct the expense.
