Colombia issues regulations on obligation to notify tax authorities about Country-by-Country report

Colombia's Tax Authority issued Regulatory Decree 2120 of 15 December 2017, which establishes the obligation for Colombian taxpayers to notify the tax authorities about whether they must file the Country-by-Country (CbC) report.

The CbC report, which applies as of ?scal year 2016 (Article 206 – 5 of the Colombian Tax Code), contains information related to the global allocation of income and taxes paid by the multinational group, as well as information on the group's economic activities.

The CbC report filing requirement applies to multinational groups that have recorded consolidated revenues (for accounting purposes) for fiscal year 2015 equal to or greater than 81 million Tax Value Units (approximately US$800 million).

Under the noti?cation requirement, a taxpayer must inform the tax authorities as to whether it belongs to a multinational group and whether the multinational group must file the CbC report. If the multinational group must file the CbC report, the taxpayer must indicate the reporting company and the company's country of ?scal residence.

The tax authorities have initiated the process of requesting the submission of the noti?cation of the CbC report corresponding to ?scal year 2016. In most cases, the deadline to submit the notification is 19 January 2018.
