What is the RUC in Panama and why does your company need it?

The Unique Taxpayer Registry (RUC) is your tax number with the General Directorate of Revenue (DGI). It is mandatory for any company or person engaged in economic activities in Panama. Without this number, your company cannot issue invoices or operate legally with the tax authorities..

Your RUC is essential for:

INVOICING

Issue valid electronic invoices to the DGI

DECLARATION

File monthly or annual tax returns

O P E R A T I O N S N O T I C E

Register your Notice of Operations in PanamaEmprende

B A N K I N G

Access banking services or tenders

IMPORTANT

Did you know that operating without a RUC or failing to keep its information updated can result in economic penalties from the General Directorate of Revenues (DGI) of up to US$500?.

Can I issue invoices without having a RUC?

No. In Panama, every valid invoice must include the issuer's RUC number. Issuing without a RUC is illegal and may result in penalties..

Can I start operations while I wait for the RUC?

No formally. You can proceed with internal preparations, but to invoice and legally register operations, you need the approved RUC..

Does the RUC process also apply to foreigners?

Yes. Every company registered in Panama, whether owned by local or foreign owners, must have an active RUC..

Is the RUC the same as the Notice of Operations?

No. The RUC is tax-related (DGI), while the Notice of Operations is commercial (PanamáEmprende). Both are necessary, and you can process them together with CORPUS.
