Updated: Jan 09 2026- Regulatory Implementation: Colombia's tax authority, DIAN, issued a new rule on December 24, 2025, mandating all cryptocurrency exchanges to submit detailed reports on user activity, aimed at combating tax evasion and enhancing transparency in the crypto sector.
- Data Requirements: Crypto platforms must report user identity, transaction volume, frequency, and asset values, ensuring compliance with individual and corporate tax filings to reduce underreporting of income related to digital assets.
- Compliance Timeline: The new rule requires crypto platforms to start collecting data in the 2026 fiscal year, with the first full report due by the last business day of May 2027, and non-compliance could result in fines of up to 1% of the total value of unreported transactions.
- Alignment with Global Standards: This move aligns Colombia with global tax transparency efforts, including the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework, demonstrating the government's strong stance on regulating the digital economy and preventing financial crimes through crypto platforms.
