Learn about the 2022 Colombia Tax Calendar

Camilo Camilo 28 Sep 2022

The Tax Calendar is the set of relevant dates for the payment of the duties that we as citizens or organizations have in terms of taxes , which are captured and administered by the National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) . For the 2022 validity , the Tax Calendar obeys Decree 1778 of December 20, 2021 , Resolution 000098 of October 28, 2020 and external circulars 100-000016 of November 17, 2021 and 100-000006 of November 9, 2018 .

To tell the truth, it is a very practical and synthetic way of knowing the official deadlines for these purposes and thus avoiding the sanctions derived from non- compliance or untimely payment . However, the Tax Calendar as a whole covers a lot of information, since there is also a large number of existing taxes , so here we will focus on the income of large taxpayers , legal entities , natural persons , assets abroad , the Bimonthly VAT, four-monthly VAT , consumption tax and withholding tax.

Tax declaration and payment deadlines

The images that you will see below, extracted directly from the DIAN website, are made up of four fundamental elements that you need to understand to find the term that corresponds to you.

First, the tax in question, visible as a section title; secondly, the consecutive payment , since some taxes are divided into installments, periods or a single payment; third, the last digits of the tax identification number (NIT) , which for natural persons is equivalent to the citizenship card (CC) ; and, finally, the calendar day on which the deadline to make the due declaration or payment expires.
