- INT 0446 issued by the DIAN on March 4, 2024 revises the treatment of VAT in the indemnification for loss of goods in transportation.
- Loss of goods during transportation does not trigger VAT as it does not meet the requirements set in article 420 of the Tax Statute.
- Indemnification for loss of taxed goods can be treated in two ways:
- If the transporter acquires goods from a third party and uses them for indemnification, VAT is triggered for the transporter.
- If the transporter indemnifies with the value of the goods, VAT is only triggered when the indemnified party acquires the lost goods.
