RFC is the mexican taxpayer is provided by Mexico tax authority (SAT). Following rules apply:

1. Valid characters are: 0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNÑOPQRSTUVWXYZ&$%#@§
2. Must be 12 or 13 characters long.
   • If the taxpayer is a company, is 12 characters long.
   • If the taxpayer is a person, is 13 characters long.

The RFC consists of 3 parts:

1. Letters and characters extracted from the name of the taxpayer.
   • If the taxpayer is a company, this part is the first 3 characters of the RFC.
   • If the taxpayer is a person, this part is the first 4 characters of the RFC.
2. The following 6 characters, which represents a valid date in the format YYMMDD. This is the taxpayer's date of registration at SAT
3. Last 3 characters: A checksum. I don't have a reliable algorithm to calculate this. The only rule applied here is that the last character must be a number or the letter 'A'.
