Dian clarifies that it cannot seize credit cards: these are the assets it can affect debtors with
The Directorate of Taxes and National Customs (Dian) clarified that credit cards are not subject to seizure in debt collection processes...
TL;DR
- Credit cards are not subject to embargo in tax debt collection processes.
- Credit cards are considered financing mechanisms, not taxpayer deposits.
- The available credit limit on a credit card is not part of the taxpayer's assets.
- Embargoes can only be applied to legally seizable assets like bank accounts, CDs, and real estate.
- Debt collection processes are not automatic or massive and must follow administrative and legal stages.
- Any seizure must be based on a formal administrative procedure with legal support.
- The Dian urges citizens to verify information through official channels to prevent misinterpretations.
