Cash, under pressure

TL;DR

  • A new wealth tax on companies with assets over 200,000 UVT (approximately $10.47 billion COP) is being implemented rapidly.
  • The tax demands immediate liquidity based on a snapshot of a company's net worth, regardless of current profitability.
  • Many sectors, including manufacturing and construction, are experiencing economic contraction, increasing the strain on businesses.
  • This tax could negatively impact corporate cash flow, investment, and expansion plans.
  • Industry groups have requested the suspension of the tax, citing concerns about its impact on investment and business confidence.
