FESchultz Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 My gas delivery crew (been using them for years) asked me to fill out a form on their last visit. Anyone else had this experience? They said their company was requiring them (the crew) to get the information. It sounded like this may have something to do with the new requirements for facturas. And perhaps also to confirm that they (the crew) are selling the gas to the people they say they are selling to. The form asked for an "RFC" number, which I do not have. (They also asked me for a photocopy of my driver's license, which I declined to provide.) I am wondering if this is a common procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexbound Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 What Gas Company do you use? We got gas yesterday from "Gas Los Altoss" and did not have to fill out any paperwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Generally speaking, you don't need or want an RFC number. It's for business tax collection purposes. Sounds like a real scam with these guys: they have to give you their RFC numbers, so they could be trying to use other people's credentials for ... who knows what.

FESchultz Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 The gas company is Gas Tomza. ComputerGuy, I think one may need an RFC to claim deductions against capital gains when one sells his house-- but I'm no tax expert. So far, the only info I provided is name/address/telephone, which is readily available in the phone directory anyway. Oh, I did provide the nearest cross street.

ComputerGuy Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yes, you are right, there are number of things that now require an RFC such as what you mention, but I wanted to stick to the topic at hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbleitch Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 We use Juan with Los Altos and got gas on Tuesday. No request for info / RFC number. As an aside and FYI, I believe you need an RFC number if you are requesting facturas from healthy care providers for health insurance claim submission purposes.

JM ARQ Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 The gas company usually makes a record of consumers to have a database and measure how often you consume they product, and at some point they could call in some time reminding you that your gas is nearing to completion ,so they are winning customers from competitors. Regarding the RFC (Federal Tax) they just use it as an ID. I understand your concern about giving personal information , but only suffice to them if you so desire with your name and phone number .and remember you are not obligated to anything. Regards!

Dough Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Just filled up with gas from Gas Butep and only paid cash and got the usual printed receipt. They don't need anything more than name & address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Maybe the word factura was used and they thought you needed a proper invoice, at which point they would have asked you for all that info... email, everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
