In Colombia, income taxpayers that carry out transactions with foreign affiliates, companies located in free trade zones or companies located in low-tax jurisdictions must comply with the rules of the Transfer Pricing Regime. This regulation requires that, for tax purposes, ordinary and extraordinary income, as well as costs, deductions, assets and liabilities, be determined on an arm’s length basis. 

Therefore, to comply with this regime, taxpayers must prepare and file the following reports: 

  1. Local file: It should detail each transaction carried out by the taxpayer, demonstrating proper compliance with transfer pricing regulations. 
  1. Master file: This report provides an overview of the multinational group, including a description of its global activities, general transfer pricing policies and the distribution of revenues, risks and costs worldwide. 
  1. Country-by-country report: Since 2016, taxpayers meeting certain criteria must file a report reflecting the global allocation of income, taxes paid and other economic indicators of the multinational group. 

Who is subject to this regime? 

Articles 260-1 and 260-2 of the Tax Statute establish who is obliged to submit the informative return and reports. Consequently, those income taxpayers who, during 2023, carried out transactions with related entities. These are the requirements to comply:

According to country-by-country deadlines, there is still enough time: 13th December. Finally, the reports must be submitted virtually through DIAN’s online services.
