Note 16     Tax reforms

Colombia

In September 2021, a tax reform was approved in Colombia. The new legislation focuses on corporate income tax, increasing the tax rate from 30% to 35% from fiscal year 2022 onwards (the corporate income tax rate was 31% in 2021, 32% in 2020 and 33% in 2019).

Although the new tax provisions do not affect tax bases or tax rate for fiscal year 2021, the tax rate increase shall be considered for deferred income tax purposes.
