- Private health providers (IPS) purchasing medical devices with PBS funds may be exempt from VAT if the devices are used for the social security health system.
- The DIAN clarified that VAT exclusion depends on both the funding source (PBS) and the direct use of devices in health services.
- The exemption is not automatic for IPS; it requires proof that the devices are integrated into PBS-financed health services.
- The Ministry of Finance reiterated that pig and chicken breeding and fattening are not considered industrial activities for ICA tax purposes and are therefore not subject to this tax, as they lack a transformation process.
- Primary agricultural, livestock, and poultry production cannot be taxed by local governments if there is no transformation beyond basic processing and distribution.
