Nu Colombia criticizes the delay of more than 500 days in the 4x1000 relief
The fintech Nu Colombia, founded by David Vélez from Paisa and led by Marcela Torres, warned that, after 501 days, the benefit that eliminates the 4x1000 charge on transfers between own accounts, provided for in Law 2277 of 2022, has not yet been fully applied...
TL;DR
- Nu Colombia reports that the 4x1000 tax relief, stipulated by Law 2277 of 2022, has not been fully implemented after 501 days.
- The fintech emphasizes that the technology for this relief is available, but requires political will and transparent, daily information sharing among financial institutions and government bodies like the Dian.
- The 4x1000 tax costs individuals approximately COP 800,000 annually, and its non-application is seen as a systemic error rather than a conscious decision.
- Nu Colombia is offering to reimburse users for the 4x1000 tax on money deposited into a Nu CDT between May 5th and 9th as a benefit.
- The organization calls for greater clarity from the Dian on system implementation and urges the acceleration of this benefit, stating it should be a right, not a privilege.
