Questions
Who must file a Colombian income tax return in 2026 (tax year 2025)?
You must file if during 2025 you met at least ONE of these: gross assets of $224.095.500 or more (4,500 UVT) on December 31; gross income, credit card purchases, total purchases, or bank deposits of $69.718.600 or more (1,400 UVT); or being registered as IVA-responsible at year end.
When is my 2026 filing date?
Between August 12 and October 26, 2026, based on the LAST TWO digits of your cédula or NIT (verification digit excluded). Digits 01-02 open the calendar on August 12 and 99-00 close it on October 26. Use the tool above to see your exact date.
What happens if I file late?
The late-filing penalty is 5% of the tax due per month (or fraction) of delay, with a minimum of $523.740 (10 UVT for 2026) — it applies even when the tax owed is small. Interest also accrues on any unpaid balance.
Does filing mean paying tax?
Not necessarily. Many salaried workers file and owe nothing extra because the year’s withholdings already covered the tax — sometimes there is even a refund. Filing is reporting; paying depends on the math.
What do I need to file?
An updated RUT, DIAN’s electronic signature instrument, and your year-end documents (income and withholding certificates, bank statements). It is filed online at dian.gov.co (form 210 for residents). If you have mixed income or foreign assets, an accountant pays for itself.
