2. NRC

In the guarantees presented by the interested parties to the State Tax Administration Agency, the RNC (Número de Referencia Completo – Complete Reference Number) is a code of twenty-two alphanumeric positions generated by the Tax Agency through a system that allows to univocally associate the guarantee it is assigned to.

It should be noted that the correct configuration of the NRC generated may be verified through the information services of the State Tax Administration Agency.

4. Cancellation Request

The cancellation request must be made telematically through the information services set up for such purposes by the State Tax Administration Agency at any given time. In this regard, the cancellation of the NRC can only be made by the guarantor entity that requested its generation to the Tax Agency.

If according to the provisions of the applicable regulations, the NRC is not subject to cancellation, the Tax Agency will inform the guarantor entity of this circumstance by returning the corresponding error.
