Pagero is closely following the developments in the country and will support its customers operating in Colombia.

The National Tax and Customs Directorate of Colombia (DIAN) published a new resolution where taxpayers must adopt version 1.9 of the Technical Annex for Electronic Sales Invoice (Sp.: Factura Electr&oacute;nica de Venta), as well as version 1.0 of the Technical Annex on Electronic Equivalent Documents (Sp.: Documento Equivalente Electr&oacute;nico).

Colombia approves new resolution for e-invoicing and PoS

The <a href="https://www.dian.gov.co/normatividad/Proyectosnormas/Proyecto%20Resoluci%C3%B3n%20000000%20de%2019-08-2022.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Project Resolution</a> specifies that electronic equivalent documents, such as POS machine receipts, passenger transport tickets, toll tickets, cinema tickets, and show tickets, among others, should be implemented between February and July 2023.
&nbsp;
At the same time, <a href="https://www.dian.gov.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DIAN</a> lists the 1.9 version of the technical information annexe for the Sales Invoice (Sp.: Factura Electr&oacute;nica de Venta) and the 1.0 version of the technical information annexe for the Electronic Equivalent Documents.
&nbsp;
Furthermore, the Project Resolution was open for public consultation until 28 August 2022. DIAN will likely release more information on the results in the future.
&nbsp;
Pagero is closely monitoring the developments in Colombia and will inform its customers about the changes in due time.

On 19 August 2022, the Colombian tax authority (DIAN) published a draft resolution proposing the introduction of a mandate calendar for the generation and transmission of the Electronic Equivalent Document (Sp.: Documento Equivalente Electronico). Other provisions for the invoicing system are also listed in the resolution.

Colombia released a Project Resolution on electronic documents

The <a href="https://www.dian.gov.co/normatividad/Normatividad/Resoluci%C3%B3n%20000167%20de%2030-12-2021.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previous resolution 000167</a> covers the generation, transmission, and validation of the purchase support document electronically.
&nbsp;
According to the <a href="https://www.dian.gov.co/normatividad/Normatividad/Resoluci%C3%B3n%20000167%20de%2030-12-2021.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new resolution 000488</a>, taxpayers in the scope will be those who can generate and issue e-invoices. Such taxpayers will be required to create and transmit a purchase support document to <a href="https://www.dian.gov.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DIAN</a> when a company or individual selling the goods or services is not obliged to issue invoices or equivalent documents.
&nbsp;
Initially, the implementation was supposed to become effective on 2 May 2022. With the latest resolution, DIAN will allow the taxpayers to adjust their processes and systems to the new regulation until 1 August 2022.
&nbsp;

On 29 April 2022, the Colombian tax authority (DIAN) published a resolution 000488, amending article 6 of the resolution 000167 from 30 December 2021 and the implementation dates for the purchase support document.
