The Single Taxpayer Registry (RUC) is a very important numerical code for issuing invoices and carrying out procedures at the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat). However, some taxpayers want to take you off partial or indefinitely for personal reasons. That is why, in this note, we explain how to do it, how to know if you already have a job leave and what happens if you do not use your RUC.
How can I cancel the RUC for natural persons if I no longer use it?
In case you do not want to use your RUC, but you do not rule out using it later, it is recommended to use the ‘Temporary Suspension of Activities‘:
- Enter Sunat – Online Operation
- Choose the option ‘Procedures and inquiries’
- Select ‘My RUC’
- Locate ‘Records/I update information on my RUC/ RUC/ Form. 3128 Modification of RUC Data’
- Click on ‘Suspend/restart activities’.
How do I know if my RUC has been withdrawn?
If you want to find your Single Taxpayer Registry (RUC) or someone close to you, follow these steps:
- Enter the Sunat website – Consult RUC
- Choose the way to consult: by RUC number, by document or by name or company name.
What happens if I don’t use my RUC?
If you don’t use your RUC, it is recommended to give it a temporary suspension, this option is for a maximum of 12 months. In the event that you do not communicate the restart of activities, the Sunat may cancel the registration completely.
How to know the RUC of a person by DNI?
If you want to know the RUC with your DNI, this is the way:
- Enter the Sunat website – Consult RUC
- Choose to consult by document
- Select the ‘National Identity Document’
- Write the number
- Click search.
