Ecopetrol anuncia acciones legales para controvertir multa de $5,3 billones por IVA a importación de gasolina

TL;DR

Ecopetrol is challenging a $5.3 trillion fine related to VAT on imported gasoline and ACPM.
The fine was confirmed by the National Directorate of Taxes and National Customs (Dian) on January 22.
The dispute arises from differing interpretations of VAT application on fuel imports.
Ecopetrol claims to have fulfilled its tax obligations and disputes the Dian's interpretation.
The company has been paying the 19% VAT rate on imported ACPM and gasoline since January 2025, while reserving legal rights.
The initial Dian request was for $9.4 trillion to Ecopetrol and Reficar, with $6.3 trillion attributed to Ecopetrol, $1 trillion to Reficar, and $2.1 trillion in interest.
