Mexican Tax System
Hi all!
I have a Mexican pay stub that I'm editing for a translation from Mexican Spanish into US English, and was given a translation memory that suggests "Fiscal Folio" and "Universally Unique Identifier" for the above line item. I don't feel that either of these are good translations, but I'm fine with being wrong.
Are either of these correct or is there a better term?
For context, the other line items are CURP, RFC, IMSS, et al., the typical Mexican tax and labor-related line items.
Thanks!

'folio' number for tax purposes
The term is so commonly used in dealing with billing and taxation in certain countries that my EDI client simply refers to it as "folio number/folio", although it does indeed refer to the UUID, the same acronym that appears in their instructional material.
"Please contact us by email for requests about your refund: [email protected]. Please include your full name, passport number and folio number. MEXICO."
The definition in the link below specifically refers to use of the term in the investment/mutual funds area, but in my experience it is not limited to this sphere.
