Frequently asked questions
How do I add 19% VAT to a price?
Multiply the price before tax by 0.19 to get the VAT, or by 1.19 to get the final price. Example: 100,000 × 1.19 = 119,000, of which 19,000 is VAT.
How do I remove VAT from a price that already includes it?
Divide the total by 1.19 (or 1.05 for the 5% rate) to get the base price; the difference is the VAT. Do not multiply by 0.81 — that gives the wrong result. Example: 119,000 ÷ 1.19 = 100,000.
What VAT rates exist in Colombia?
The general rate is 19% (E.T. art. 468). A reduced 5% rate applies to specific goods and services listed in art. 468-1 and 468-3. Some items are exempt (0% with the right to refund) and others are excluded (outside VAT), such as many basic food items.
Do I have to charge VAT if I sell as an individual?
Only if you are "responsable de IVA". Individuals whose gross income from taxed activities stayed under 3,500 UVT (COP 183,309,000 in 2026) and meet the other conditions of art. 437 E.T. are "no responsables" and do not charge VAT. Selling your own used belongings is generally not a taxed business activity.
Is VAT charged on rent in Colombia?
Residential rent is excluded from VAT. Commercial rent (offices, retail, warehouses) is taxed at 19% when the landlord is responsible for VAT.
