Colombian Government Outlines Latest Tax Reform

  • Digital and gambling taxation: Draft rules extend VAT and consumption tax to online gambling operators, remove exemptions for cloud computing, hosting, and software licenses, impacting non-resident providers and B2C customers significantly.

  • VAT compliance changes: Filing frequency would shift to bi-monthly for all suppliers, while the input VAT creditability window reduces from eight to six months, tied to economic transaction timing.

  • Large taxpayers and imports: Large taxpayers must self-charge VAT on taxable services imported into Colombia, while the “de minimis” exemption for low-value shipments is eliminated, broadening the VAT collection base.

  • Sector-specific tax hikes: Proposals include raising fuel oil taxation, applying a 19% consumption tax to cultural and recreational events, and taxing music festivals and sports, aimed at addressing fiscal imbalances.
