Living in Colombia? You might already owe Colombian taxes — on your worldwide income.
Spend 183 days in any 365-day window and you're a Colombian tax resident. Most expats find out late — after the penalties. Get a personalized report: your residency status, exactly what you must file, and what it costs if you don't.
✔ The 183-day rule counts partial days and rolls across calendar years — most expats compute it wrong.
✔ Tax residents must declare worldwide income AND report foreign assets (Formato 160) — the penalty for skipping it reaches 5% of your gross assets.
✔ Colombia exchanges financial data with 100+ countries under CRS. Your home bank account is not invisible.
