Many Latin American countries have strict billing and tax filing regulations for companies operating in the region. The newest country with upcoming e-invoicing requirements is Colombia.
The country is preparing to mandate its own specific requirements. With these new regulations, companies that declare and pay VAT in Colombia must issue electronic invoices, which means that organizations doing business will need to implement new processes and technologies to avoid fines and penalties. Colombia has outlined the following for companies that need to comply with this mandate:
Due Date:
- Companies that requested numbering ranges (folios) for e-invoicing during the last five years and invoice less than 3M invoices per month will have to adopt e-invoicing compliance by June 29th, 2018.
- Any company within the list of big contributors (grandes contribuyentes) will have to adopt e-invoicing compliance by September 1st, 2018.
- Companies that requested numbering ranges (folios) for e-invoicing during the last five years and generate more than 3M invoices per month, e-invoicing compliance is mandatory as of September 29th, 2018.
- e-invoicing compliance is mandatory as of January 1st, 2019 for all taxpayers who declare and pay VAT in Colombia
These requirements will affect various organizational areas, including accounting, logistics and human resources, making it potentially complex to comply with given the impact in can have on your organization.
