- Aconauto, the association of car dealerships, finds these measures economically irrational and detrimental to business profitability.
- The significant increase in the minimum wage disproportionately affects dealerships, as many employees are at this pay level.
- Dealerships may have to diversify into post-sale services and consider multi-brand operations to maintain profitability.
- An increase in Impoconsumo tax on vehicles is expected to reduce consumer demand.
- Aconauto criticizes the tax authority's (Dian) poor tax collection performance.
- The association calls for rational economic policies and rejects hasty decree-based measures that harm markets and investment.
- Colombia needs a fleet renewal program, supported by interest rate subsidies and reduced taxes, to boost the market and state revenue.
