1 Colombia Tax Guide 2013
2 foreword A country s tax regime is always a key factor for any business considering moving into new markets. What is the corporate tax rate? Are there any incentives for overseas businesses? Are there double tax treaties in place? How will foreign source income be taxed? Foreword Since 1994, the PKF network of independent member firms, administered by PKF International Limited, has produced the PKF Worldwide Tax Guide (WWTG) to provide international businesses with the answers to these key tax questions. This handy reference guide provides clients and professional practitioners with comprehensive tax and business information for over 90 countries throughout the world. As you will appreciate, the production of the WWTG is a huge team effort and I would like to thank all tax experts within PFK member firms who gave up their time to contribute the vital information on their country s taxes that forms the heart of this publication. I hope that the combination of the WWTG and assistance from your local PKF member firm will provide you with the advice you need to make the right decisions for your international business.

4 Preface The (WWTG) is an annual publication that provides an overview of the taxation and business regulation regimes of the world s most significant trading countries. In compiling this publication, member firms of the PKF network have based their summaries on information current on 1 January 2013, while also noting imminent changes where necessary. On a country-by-country basis, each summary addresses the major taxes applicable to business; how taxable income is determined; sundry other related taxation and business issues; and the country s personal tax regime. The final section of each country summary sets out the Double Tax Treaty and Non-Treaty rates of tax withholding relating to the payment of dividends, interest, royalties and other related payments. While the WWTG should not to be regarded as offering a complete explanation of the taxation issues in each country, we hope readers will use the publication as their first point of reference and then use the services of their local PKF member firm to provide specific information and advice.

9 Colombia Colombia Currency: Peso Dial Code To: 57 Dial Code Out: 09 (P) Member Firm: City: Name: Contact Information: Bogotá Cristobal Uribe ucristobal@amezquita.com.co A. Taxes payable Federal taxes and levies Income tax Companies resident in Colombia are subject to corporate income tax on their worldwide income. Resident corporations are those organised under Colombian law and that have their principal domicile in Colombia. The tax rate for which both domestic companies and branches of foreign companies are taxed is 25%. A reduced 15% rate applies in the free-trade zone areas. The last tax bill reform by congress created an additional annual income tax,. (locally called CREE), which came into force from 1 January Resident companies and foreign companies that are income tax payers will be subject to this new income tax. The general rate of this new tax is 8% but will be 9% during 2013, 2014 and The filing of this new tax is on annual basis (1 January 31 December) so the first tax return to be filed will be during It means that Colombian companies and branches are subject to both ordinary income tax at 25% and the new CREE income tax. In addition, an exemption from SENA (national trainee services) contribution of 2% and ICBF (National familiar promotion entity) contribution of 3.5% (both payroll contributions) will apply for those new taxpayers of CREE. This exemption will apply from 1 July 2013 only for CREE taxpayers and for employees who earn less than ten (10) minimum mandatory wages. CREE does not apply in free trade zones or for non-profit entities. Capital gains Capital gains are taxed as ordinary income except for a few types of capital gains that may be subject to special taxation (eg gains from lotteries and similar sources) or exempt from income taxation. Equity A net worth tax (impuesto al patrimonio) was generated in 2011 and is payable between 2011 and 2014 by corporate and individual residents. The tax is imposed if the taxpayer s wealth is equal to or exceeds COP 1 billion on 1 January The taxpayer s net wealth includes both wealth located in Colombia and net wealth located abroad. The tax rate starts at 1% on the value of the wealth between (COP $ and $ ), excluding the net worth of shares or interests in participations in national entities. Value added tax (VAT) VAT is levied on taxable supplies of goods and services by a taxable person within Colombia and on the importation of goods into Colombia by any person. Exports (and some specific items) are zero rated. The standard rate of VAT is 16%. Currently in Colombian there are only three VAT rates as follows: 16%, 5% and 0% (the last one for exempt services and goods). Property tax Real estate property is subject to municipal taxation (impuesto predial unificado). The tax is usually levied at rates within a band of 1 to 16 per thousand, with reference to the cadastral value of each property. Undeveloped plots of land may be subject to increased tax rates. 1
10 Colombia B. Determination of taxable income Depreciation Tax deductions are available for reasonable depreciation rates which reflect the normal wear and tear or obsolescence of the property concerned. The straight-line and the declining-balance methods may be used, along with any other method of recognised technical value authorised by the Auditing Assistant Director of the General Direction of National Taxes. Stock/inventory The average, LIFO, FIFO, retail and specific identification methods may be used in order to value inventories and all are accepted for tax purposes as long as the relevant method is recorded in the accounting books. Losses Losses incurred by a company in a tax year can be carried forward and deducted against liquid income in subsequent tax years. Tax losses incurred before 31 December 2006 may be carried forward for only eight years and only 25% of the losses are available to offset each year. There are no group relief provisions. Dividends Dividends paid to resident shareholders are exempt from income tax if the dividends are distributed out of profits that have been previously taxed at the corporate level. If the distributed profits were not previously taxed at corporate level, they are subject to a withholding tax at the rate of 20% when paid to resident persons and 33% for non-residents. Interest deduction Interest is not deductible in full. Income tax payers may deduct an amount not exceeding the average result of a threefold increase in net worth of the previous year end. Foreign source income Colombia taxes resident companies on worldwide income from all domestic and foreign sources. This includes capital gains from the sale of stock of foreign corporations. Incentives Special tax incentives are provided to investors in certain specified industries such as agricultural plantations dedicated to the cultivation of fruits, anchovies, rubber and cacao, creation of hotels (new and remodeled), and publishing houses. There are also a number of free-trade zones and special import-export systems which provide for the duty-free entry of capital goods and materials to be used in the production of export goods. The law 1429 of 2010 gave the following income tax benefits for new small businesses (natural or legal person) that constitute or formalise after this Act, and for inactive enterprises that are reactivated as a result of this law: a) They do not have to present presumptive income tax in their first 10 years (depending on department to be installed) b) They calculate the income tax at reduced rates (progressive rates - starting at 0%) for the first 10 years (depending on the department to be installed). C. Foreign tax relief In most cases, double taxation is relieved unilaterally by the granting of a foreign tax credit (FTC) against Colombian corporate income tax. Taxpayers may credit the amount of foreign tax paid on income from abroad, up to a maximum of the Colombian tax that would be due on the amount of income received from abroad. Colombian resident companies receiving dividends from foreign companies may credit against both foreign withholding taxes paid on the dividends and also the amount of the underlying foreign income tax paid by the foreign company on the profits from which the dividends were paid. 2
11 Colombia D. Corporate groups There is no concept of group relief for Colombian tax purposes. E. Related party transactions As a general rule, transactions between related parties must be carried out on arm s length principles, i.e. the prices should be the same as those that would be arrived at in comparable transactions with independent parties. The tax authorities may adjust the prices at which the taxpayer acquires or sells goods, as well as the consideration of other transactions, and modify the taxable base or the relevant loss of a taxpayer for income tax purposes. F. Withholding tax The following domestic withholding tax rates apply in respect of payments to nonresidents. Dividends 33% Interest 33% Royalties 33% Service fees and commissions 33% Payments for technical services 10% None of the double taxation agreements between Colombia and other countries reduce the withholding tax rates below the domestic rates. G. Exchange controls Certain foreign currency transactions must be channelled through intermediaries authorised for the purposes including: import of property export of property external indebtedness foreign investment in Colombia Colombian investment in foreign countries financial investments and fixed assets based in foreign countries endorsements and guarantees derivative transactions. H. Personal tax Resident individuals are liable to income tax in respect of their worldwide income. Non-resident individuals are liable to income tax only on their Colombian-sourced income. Newly resident individuals are taxed only on Colombian-sourced income during the first four years of their stay in Colombia. An individual is considered to be a resident of Colombia if he or she stays in Colombia for more than 183 days in a tax year (365 days). A Colombian individual whose family lives in Colombia, or whose main place of business is in Colombia, also may be considered a Colombian resident even if he or she does not remain in Colombia, The individual tax rate is progressive as follows: Taxable income (UVT) Tax rate Up to 95 0% 95 to % 150 to % over % Capital gains are normally subject to ordinary taxation except for a few items that may be subject to special taxation (eg gains from lotteries and similar sources) or exempt from income taxation, such as gains arising from inheritances, legacies and gifts up to a certain amount. 3
12 Colombia No inheritance (estate) or gift taxes are levied at the federal or the local level. However, certain gifts may be treated as income and therefore be subject to income tax in the hands of individual donees. I. Treaty and Non-Treaty Withholding Rates Colombia has signed Double Taxation Agreements with Canada, Chile, Spain and Switzerland and the countries of the Andean Community. There is a treaty with Portugal that is not yet in effect. 4
