Updated: Jan 10 2026- Tax Transparency Enhancement: Colombia's tax authority DIAN has mandated crypto transaction reporting starting in 2026 under Resolution 000240, aiming to enhance tax transparency and combat tax evasion, which is expected to alter market dynamics and investor behavior.
- Compliance Requirements: The new rule requires crypto providers, such as exchanges and brokers, to report user and transaction data, specifically targeting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin, thereby increasing compliance demands and potentially attracting more compliant institutional investors.
- Historic Shift: Colombia historically relied on self-reporting for crypto gains, but this systematic approach aligns with established financial reporting rules, marking a significant advancement in the country's tax compliance for crypto assets.
- Global Standards Alignment: This initiative aligns with the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), positioning Colombia among early adopters of these tax standards, which may lead users to shift towards non-compliant platforms for privacy protection.
