Does Social Security income from the United States count towards your income threshold for tax liability in Colombia?
Pensions of less than 1,000 UVT monthly ($42,412,000 COP = $9,950 USD for 2023) are exempt from Colombian taxes. If your pension exceeds this threshold, it becomes taxable, and the tax rate depends on the pension amount.
If I am able to retire to Colombia in 2024 my entire income will be in the form of about 1/2 pension and 1/2 interest on bank CDs. I will no longer have any employment income. Both together would still be less than the amount you stated in the comments that is exempt from pension taxation. But I am not clear if the interest portion will be taxable, or if that is still considered "earned" income.
Also both will be taxed in the United States but at a tax rate probably lower than that of Colombia.
Also about half of that interest income is actually coming in the form of distributions from my IRA accounts. Are IRA distributions treated like pension income for like earnings
As your pension does not exceed the specified amount, it will be exempted. Regarding the interest, it will count as income since it is interest income for your financial product.
So if I have a $ 500,000 house in Colombia and $400,000 in other assets I have to pay Colombian assets?
Hi Mateo, thanks for the very informed video! Just to clarify....even if i make income from my Colombian property (airbnb) that meets the criteria for filing taxes, but i am physically LESS than 183 days in Colombia in any 1 year period, I do NOT have to file my taxes in Colombia, is that correct ?
If you are not a tax resident but receive income from Colombia, you'll have to present a tax income declaration and pay taxes exclusively on the income generated here.
If I become a Permanent Resident or even a citizen in Colombia do I have to pay taxes in Colombia for my VA disability? It is 4000 usd monthly.
If you become a tax resident, you must file a tax income declaration. However, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to pay taxes, as pensions of less than 1,000 UVT monthly (equivalent to $47,065,000 COP = $12.037 USD for 2024 at today's rate) are exempt from Colombian taxes. You will not have to pay taxes on your pension.
Does Social Security and annuity income generated from the US count towards tax liability in Colombia?
Pensions of less than 1,000 UVT monthly ($42,412,000 COP = $9,950 USD for 2023) are exempt from Colombian taxes. If your pension exceeds this threshold, it becomes taxable, and the tax rate depends on the pension amount.
Regarding your income, if you become a tax resident in Colombia, you'll have to declare your global income. You must take into account that there are deductions that can be applied to your tax income declaration, such as the taxes paid abroad.
If you have a Roth IRA, real estate and employment income over the limit 39k. Is it better just to stay a tourist under the 183 days?
In order to determine whether it is better to stay as a tourist for under 183 days, it is necessary to perform a tax estimation based on your specific situation. Here are some key considerations:
-If you become a tax resident in Colombia, you must declare the Roth IRA and real estate. However, these two will not increase the amount you owe in taxes. Employment income, on the other hand, will likely increase your tax liability.
-There are various deductions that can be applied when filing taxes in Colombia, including taxes you may have paid in your home country, among others. We can discuss these deductions in more detail based on your specific circumstances.
-Keep in mind that when you start receiving your pension, pensions of less than 1,000 UVT monthly ($42,412,000 COP = $9,950 USD for 2023) are exempt from Colombian taxes. If your pension exceeds this threshold, it becomes taxable, and the tax rate depends on the pension amount.
Pensions of less than 1,000 UVT monthly ($42,412,000 COP = $9,950 USD for 2023) are exempt from Colombian taxes. Does this statement mean $9,950 USD per month or yearly??
It means $9,950 USD per month.
Reay, monthly?
@@brucesydenham9260 That's correct, monthly.
I am Colombian living in the United States. Received a letter from Dian.. saying I didn't fallow my taxes. Don't know what to do
To determine your tax residence, we must verify, the amount of your income received in Colombia, the value of assets you own in the country, and whether your spouse and children are tax residents in Colombia.
If you meet any of the following criteria, you are required to declare taxes in Colombia:
-Your spouse or minor children were considered tax residents in the corresponding fiscal year.
-At least 50% of your income was sourced from Colombia.
-At least 50% of your assets were managed in Colombia.
-At least 50% of your assets were held in Colombia.
-You have been requested by the tax authorities to provide evidence of tax residence in another country, but you did not provide such evidence.
-You are a tax resident in a jurisdiction that the Colombian government designates as a tax haven.

Do you own a property in Colombia?. Because if you are not leaving there, you are not obligated to pay taxes there, the law said only in you stay longer than 6 months. Do you know why Shakira had to pay a lot of money in Spain? Last year, because she used to leave there for more than a few months, she claimed she was there temporary but it this the same for us. I only pay our taxes property there.
So I've been sending money transfers to a friend in Colombia monthly around 300 dollars. My question is is she obligated to pay taxes on that money? I asked this question because my friend received an email from DIAN and according to the email she must pay taxes from 2023. Is that true?
If your friend already meets the criteria and has been declaring income tax in previous years, it is most likely that your friend must declare the amounts he/she is receiving from you. If your friend didn't meet the criteria before, then we must check if combining their income with the amount you are sending meets the criteria to declare taxes. You can find more information about the criteria in the following link:

Do colombian citizens, born in Colombia but living abroad, have to declare taxes. Are there any ramifications for moving back to Colombia?
If you are a Colombian citizen living abroad, you must file taxes if you meet one of the following criteria:
a. Your spouse or permanent partner who is not legally separated, or dependent minor children, have tax residence in the country; or,
b. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your income is from national sources; or,
c. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your assets are managed in the country; or,
d. Fifty percent (50%) or more of your assets are considered to be held in the country.
If you do not meet these conditions, there will be no consequences for returning to Colombia. However, if you become a tax resident and meet the conditions that make you eligible to declare taxes, then you are obligated to do so. Please feel free to reach out to us; we would be happy to help clarify any additional concerns you may have.
