Rules worth knowing
- Most businesses and professionals in Colombia must issue a factura electrónica that the DIAN validates before it reaches the client. A PDF made here is not a valid factura. Use this tool for foreign clients, quotes and proformas.
- Individuals who sell only excluded goods or non-VAT services are exempt from electronic invoicing while their gross income stays under 3,500 UVT a year. The UVT for 2026 is COP 52,374.
- Clients that act as withholding agents often deduct retención en la fuente (11% for fees from a company) and part of the IVA. The exact rates depend on the client and the service, so confirm with your accountant.
- If you are not required to invoice, the client prepares a documento soporte to deduct the cost.
