Colombia accounting compliance requirements

Colombia has mandated electronic invoicing (factura electrรณnica) for essentially all taxpayers since a phased rollout that began in 2019 and extended to nearly all businesses by late 2020, requiring each invoice to be submitted to the DIAN for pre-clearance validation and a unique CUFE code before it can be delivered to the buyer.

Mandatory factura electrรณnica
