COLOMBIA: Congress approves Bill establishing 'equity tax' on wealth
The Colombian legislature has approved the government's tax reform Bill creating a permanent equity tax to be levied on 1 January of each year on individuals with a net worth above about USD611,000. Colombian-resident individuals will be taxed on their worldwide net worth. Non-resident individuals will be taxed only on their Colombian assets, excluding shares in Colombian companies. The rate will range from 0.5 to 1.5 per cent until 2026 and then be capped at 1 per cent. Capital gains tax will rise from 10 to 15 per cent for resident and non-resident companies and individuals.
