How can you fulfill this requirement? What precautions should you take? How do I get Uber invoices? Read on and you know it.
It should be noted that the guidelines set out here mainly apply to the Mexican legislation. However, in the case of other countries, the measures to be taken are very similar under the existing tax system.
But no matter what country you are in, for Uber it is essential that the driver's members have a register in the Treasury. In this way they will be able to issue invoices to users who request them.
How to register for the Treasury?
Registration with the Treasury, in Mexico, consists in the registration in the Federal Register of Taxpayers (RFC). Depending on the country you are in, there is certainly an online portal where you can apply for registration in this register. In addition, a body in charge of tax administration where it is possible to make the required collections.
In the case of the federal register of taxpayers in Mexico, people must pre-register online. In this step it is necessary to fill in a form with various personal information such as: names and surnames, age, sex, nationality, unique population registration code (curp) and date of birth.
Additionally, you need to provide information about your income and other financial data. During this pre-registration you must indicate what type of taxpayer you will be. For those who wish to work as an Uber Partner, they must present themselves as Individuals.
Next, you need to process your e-signature or FIEL, a requirement of Uber for its members. In this way, they will be able to provide security for online transactions on the platform. For this, you have to take the following precautions to the tax administration service:
- RFC pre-registration test
- Proof of residence or tax address
- Identification document
- Copy of the birth certificate
- Request for electronic signature
- Front photograph
- Photograph of the iris of the eye
- fingerprints
- Autograph company
Likewise, it is important that you select, among the commercial activities you will carry out, that of "Passenger land transport service through a technological platform". These are the economic activities corresponding to platforms like Uber.
For more information on tax compliance for workers on digital platforms such as Uber, you can consult the official page of the Tax Administration Service.
How to get Uber invoices?
Let's now turn to the topic of Uber bills. To activate your account, you must sign up for Uber's automatic billing portal. In it, you need to share the electronic signature files and the digital seal certificate that you got from the tax administration service.
After registering, you will be able to create different profiles based on the corresponding payment method and activate automatic billing for each profile you want.
Therefore, when you need to issue an invoice for a trip, you simply have to enter the details of the trip you have made and press «generate invoice». At the moment, you will receive an email with your invoice details in PDF and XML format.
Without a doubt, to live your experience as a Driver Partner in Uber, joining the Treasury is a fundamental step that will bring with it many advantages.

In this way, you will contribute to Uber's legal establishment in the region and to the growth of trust on the part of the institutions responsible for taxation of the territory. In addition to the growing community of Uber users around the world.
