OECD Tax Policy Reviews: Colombia 2022
This report is part of the OECD Tax Policy Reviews publication series. The Reviews are intended to provide independent, comprehensive and comparative assessments of OECD member and non-member countries’ tax systems or zoom in on a specific tax policy topic. This report provides an in-depth assessment of Colombia’s tax expenditure reporting practices and makes specific recommendations as to how the measurement of tax expenditures and their reporting can be improved. In particular, the review introduces a benchmark for the corporate and personal income tax and the value-added tax and calculates revenue forgone from income tax expenditures.
Measuring and Reporting Personal Income Tax Expenditures
This chapter presents the approach that Colombia currently follows to measure and report Personal Income Tax (PIT) Expenditures, and identifies areas for improvement. It presents the equations that can be applied to measure revenue forgone from different PIT TEs on an item-by-item basis and discusses strategies to obtain more granular data. The chapter also includes the item-by-item revenue forgone estimates calculated by DIAN following the OECD’s proposed methodology and presents a distributional analysis of a number of PIT TEs.
