For this is why LARM Colombia works for you to inform you the important aspects you must have at present when making the following analysis at a fiscal level.
Initial analysis:
ü Identify the time of stay in the country is greater than 183 days continuously or discontinuously in a range of 365 consecutive calendar days.
ü Review double taxation agreements
ü If you have declared income in the country of origin
ü Request the 220 form (Issued by the Company you work for)
ü Updated RUT
ü Verify the electronic signature with DIAN
ü Tax calendar period between August, September and October
Financial analysis:

2. Determine the income (It is required to have at hand the documents stating the income you received during the taxable 2019 year).
3. Determine the payments that constitute deductions and expenses (It is required to have at hand the documents stating the payments made in 2019; and that they have a causal, need and proportional relationship with the income generating activity).
Remember to be aware of your Colombia identification last digit by verifying the tax calendar on the DIAN webpage (https://www.dian.gov.co/Paginas/CalendarioTributario.aspx).
