  • TAX OF INDUSTRY AND TRADE

    28/09/2016

    Elements, taxable and tax base period.

    Considering it of interest, transcribed excerpts of the Judgment No. 20938 of August 30, 2016, on the elements, taxable and tax base period tax of Industry and Commerce, as follows:

    “………

    “Given that the tax liability on the tax industry and trade is ex-lege, birth budgets are imperative and require correspondence and matching of the following [1]:

    “I) The operative event consisting of the construction of industrial, commercial and service activities in municipal jurisdictions;

    “Ii) The taxpayer who are natural persons, companies and societies in fact doing the taxable event and taxable capacity hold that the law intended to tax;

    “Iii) The active subject that corresponds to the municipality where the chargeable event is done, besides being the owner of the tax credit, has the power to set the tax in its jurisdiction;

    “Iv) the tax base consists of the average monthly gross income of the previous year and,

    “V) The specific rate, within the range prescribed by law, for municipal councils.

    “As for the temporal element of fact taxed in the tax on industry and trade, revenues in conducting taxable activities are generated during a period that coincides with the calendar year, or a two-month period, as exceptionally it occurs in the Capital District Bogota, on behalf of the forecast brought by Decree Law 1421 of 1993.

    “Unlike taxes instant causation, in which the occurrence of each generator coincides with the birth of the consequent tax liability in the tax on industry and trade the time element is constituted by a period, which means that only at the time it ends, it will cause the tax and the tax liability arises to pay. Thus, the tax liability is the result of taxable events that occurred during the period, which as noted, is between 1 January and 31 December fiscal year and due on the last date indicated.

    “The place where taxable activities are performed determines the spatial element of the operative event for the tribute, which, moreover sets the scope of the tax competence of the municipalities.

    “In turn, because of the correspondence that should exist between the essential elements of the tax, the subjective element of the operative event must match the taxpaying capacity which bears the tax, which implies that the subject called to respond as required for payment of tax it is the same as performs activities taxed with the tax on industry and trade, which earns an income. Hence the case of a direct tax, levied because who performs the taxable activity, whose economic capacity is presumed [2].

    “………

    “So, it is clarified that it is only until the moment that ends the taxable period when the tax is incurred and the tax liability arises from pay, which is the result of taxable events that occurred during this time, which in this case would materialize in the standard defendant must establish (i) the operative event related to industrial, commercial or service to conduct the taxable activity, not a generic, abstract and minimum tax for all activities in that jurisdiction; (Ii) that, if the case only until the end of the period the taxpayer must pay the tax ICA on the average monthly gross income of the previous year, not S.M.M.L.V., without indicating the periods and; (Iii) to that base rate would apply not to exceed the limit established by Law 14 of 1983. “(Emphasis added).

    “[1] State Council, Section Four, Judgment of July 25, 2016, Exp. 21276, C.P. Martha Teresa Briceño de Valencia

    “[2] The tax on industry and trade is objective in nature, so the presumed ability to pay.”

  • ANNUAL STATEMENT OF ASSETS ABROAD

    25/08/2016

    Penalty for not filing or late filing or correction.

    Articles 42 and 43 of Law 1739 of December 23, 2014, which added paragraph 4 of Article 574 and Article 607 of the Tax Code, established the obligation as of the fiscal year 2015, for taxpayers income tax and complementary who hold foreign assets of any nature, to present the annual declaration of assets abroad. The equity value of foreign assets held to declare January 1 of each year should be higher than 3,580 UVT (2016, 3,580 UVT x $ 29,753 = $ 106,516,000).

    These rules did not establish any penalty for failing to file or extemporaneously such a declaration or correct it.

    However, the resolution of the DIAN 96 of 14 September 2015, which prescribed the FormulANNUAL STATEMENT OF ASSETS ABROADario 160 of the annual declaration of assets abroad in the fiscal year 2015, established that non-submission or late submission of the declaration , causes the sanction provided for in Article 651 of the Tax Code, punishment for not sending information.

    We believe that this approach is wrong and illegal, by the following:

    First. The annual declaration of assets abroad is a tax return under the terms of Article 42 of Law 1739 of December 23, 2014, which added paragraph 4 of Article 574 of the Tax Code; and standards governing sanctions on failure to file tax returns or late submission or correction, are set directly in the law, as with the penalty for failure to declare the tax returns of Article 643 of the Tax Code , or the penalty for late submission of tax returns, articles 641 and 642 of the tax Code, or punishment of correction of tax returns, Article 644 of the tax Code. However, these sanctions do not apply to the annual declaration of assets abroad, because the principle of criminality required for these offenses is not met for it.

    Second. The annual declaration of assets abroad is not comparable to the provision of tax information or information requested evidence of Article 651 of the Tax Code, because, as set out in Articles 42 and 43 of Law 1739 of December 23, 2014 such a declaration constitutes tax return, and not the mere provision of tax information.

    Third. Tax penalties must be previously established by law, in accordance with Article 29 of the Constitution of Colombia. Therefore, if Articles 42 and 43 of Law 1739 of December 23, 2014, did not establish penalties for failure to file or late filing or correcting the annual tax return of assets abroad, it does not belong to the Administrative authorities through administrative acts, DIAN Resolution 96, of 14 September 2015, establishing for this tax declaration of assets abroad the penalty for not sending information Article 651 of the tax Code.

    Conclusion. In our opinion the 1739 Act of December 23, 2014, Articles 42 and 43, did not establish penalties for not declaring or sanction or penalty for extemporaneous statement correctness of this tax return of assets abroad, by the following:

    First. The penalty for not declaring Article 643 of the Tax Code, is regulated exclusively for the omission of the statement of income and complementary to the omission of the tax return on sales, for the omission of the statement of withholding and for the omission of the statement of stamp duty.

    Second. The penalty for late submission of articles 641 and 642 of the Tax Code, equivalent to a percentage of the total tax payable or retention; and if it is not imposed by or retention, the penalty is applied on gross income or the balance in favor; and if these items do not occur on the liquid assets of the previous year; with a limit of 2,500 UVT, though there is no credit balance.

    For the tax declaration of assets abroad, they do not operate the limits set out in Articles 641 and 642 of the Tax Code, to apply the penalty for lateness, because there is no place to determine tax payable, withholding, gross income, credit balance, or net worth, or the punishment of 2,500 UVT, by the lack of balance in favor because this statement does not determine these items.

    Third. The penalty for correction of Article 644 of the Tax Code, applies when it occurs, by the correction of the tax return, pay a higher value or a lower balance in favor.

    In the tax declaration of assets abroad, higher values or lower balances to pay for not occur.

    Fourth. Therefore, for the annual tax return of assets abroad, the penalty for not declaring Article 643 of the Tax Code nor the penalty for late submission of articles 641 and 642 of the Tax Code nor the penalty for correction are not applicable to it Article 644 of the Tax Code; and less, the penalty for not sending information Article 651 of the Tax Code, because, Law, Law 1739 of December 23, 2014, did not establish any penalty for this statement, or sent to other legal provisions on tax penalties.

    In short, in our opinion, this annual tax declaration of assets abroad, is not subject to tax penalty.

  • INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE TAX

    22/08/2016

    Activity of sea and river transport.

     

    Considering it of interest, we transcribed verbatim excerpts of the judgment of the State Council, Filing No. 21276 of 25 July 2016 on the tax on industry and trade activity maritime and river transport.

     

    “As regards the determination of taxable persons << natural persons, legal >> service providing maritime and river transport cargo, made by Article 5 in question (the Turbo Municipal Agreement No. 010 March 31, 2005), the Chamber considers that conforms to the law, such as subjects perform the taxable activity in the municipality and have commercial establishments or branches in that jurisdiction.

     

    “On this point, it should be noted that the Constitutional Court, by judgment C-121 of 22 February 2006 [19], which declared constitutional the term” exercised or performed in the respective municipal jurisdictions “contained Article 32 of Law 14 of 1983, compiled by Article 195 of Decree 1333 of 1986, said that the taxable activity should benefit from the resources of the municipality, saying:

     

    “<< So reading the standard allows clearly understand that, being a tax of municipal character, the active subject of the tax is the municipality where” exercise or perform commercial or industrial activities. ”

     

    “The preamble to the draft which became Law 14 of 1983 confirms that the municipality is who is responsible accrue the tax on industry and trade; Indeed, the exhibition reveals that the legislature understood that, as the taxable commercial or industrial activity is benefiting from the infrastructure services market and other resources of a given municipality, corresponded that this was the beneficiary of the tax; in this sense we read in the explanatory memorandum to the draft, the following:

     

    “If one considers that the tax on industry and trade technically should not fall on items but on activities, the project refers to benefiting from the resources, infrastructure and market municipalities and are a source of wealth. Consequently, they are subject to tax industrial and service activities, as defined in the relevant articles of the bill “(…)

     

    “So, the Court finds that the accused standard -Article 32 of Law 14 of 1983, compiled by the 1333 Decree 195 of 1986 establishes a rule according to which the municipality called to collect the tax on industry and trade, ie the active subject of this tribute, is that where carried out commercial, industrial or services >> activity. (It is underlined).

     

    “In the ruling issued by the Constitutional Court draws the demarcation of the municipality that serves as an active tribute subject is given in terms of the use that the taxpayer makes the infrastructure services market and other resources of the entity territorial, for the taxable activity.

     

    “This implies that the operative event for the tax on industry and trade cause in the place where is located the business establishment of the legal entity (carrier) or natural providing the service taxed, it is not enough, as in the case of maritime or fluvial transport, the boat leaves the municipality to understand such service was provided in that jurisdiction and which therefore can be taxed with the tax in question.

     

    “For purposes of this case the Chamber notes that Article 5 of the agreement defendant stated that taxpayers are natural or legal persons that provide transportation services << from the jurisdiction of the municipality of Turbo, in accordance with the principle of territoriality, according to Art. 294 NC (Sic) and Law 14 of 1983, which says you should pay tax in the municipality or district where the activity is carried out, in the case of service or cargo shipping goods at the place where the service originates >> . (It is underlined).

     

    “In these circumstances the Chamber declare the conditional legality of that article 5, on the understanding that will only be subject to the tax the natural or legal persons who, when providing the recorded service (sic), exploit the resources of the municipality (market , infrastructure and so on), provided they have business establishments or branches in that jurisdiction.

     

    “Accordingly, the Chamber declared the partial annulment of Article 5 of the Municipal Agreement 010 of March 31, 2005, issued by the City Council of Turbo, in the sense of annulling the expression << shipping agents representing (sic) ships or shipping >> and condition the determination of natural persons or legal entities as subject to the tax, to have commercial establishments and branches in the jurisdiction of the municipality of Turbo. ”

  • LEGAL EXISTENCE OF THE PERSON

    18/07/2016

    Constitutional Court Judgment C-327/16 June 22, 2016.

    The Constitutional Court in Judgment C-327/16 of an 22 June 2016 declared constitutional the expression “begins at birth” contained in Article 90 of the Civil Code.

    Article 90 of the Civil Code provides:

    ARTICLE 90. LEGAL EXISTENCE OF PEOPLE. The legal existence of every person begins at birth, that is, to be completely separated from his mother.

    “The creature that dies in the womb, or perishes before being completely separated from her mother, or has not survived the separation even for a moment, be deemed never to have existed.”

    The conclusions of the judgment, the Court states:

    “67. The determination of the legal existence of the person from birth does not violate the duty to protect life from conception, established in Article 4.1. of the American Convention, since life as a constitutionally relevant value is good, but does not have the same degree of protection as the right to life. Strong expression of Article 90 of the Civil Code takes into account this reality, which in turn protects other rights at stake. Therefore, a systematic reading of the constitutional indicates that prenatal life does not hold the ownership of the right to life and thus the determination of the legal existence of the person from birth, does not violate this guarantee which is adjusted the constitutional parameters. “

    “In the letter of reference, request reconsideration in Office 001 344 of 04 February this year, in which it was concluded – among others- that according to the ratio decidendi of the judgment C-492 of 2015 25% exempt income dealt with in section 10 of article 206 of the Tax Code does not apply for purposes of retention in the minimum font size set out in Article 384 ibid.

    “He bases his request that” the exemption of 25% of what the article 206-1 (sic) of ET, the determination of the Taxable Income Alternative IMAN, in development of Article 369 of the ET should also be reduced base minimum retention specified in Article 384 of the EX, with this same category, being an exempt income of the worker. ”

    “Now, in relation to Article 369 of the ET, it should be understood that it operates when full payment is exempt and not just a section of it, as was expressed in the Office 012 642 2008 .

    “According to the above, and because of what transpired in the judgment cited, the Honorable Constitutional Court restricts the application of the exempt income of 25% mentioned the determination of income for IMAN and IMAS – PE. For this reason, it does not correspond to this address to a different extent to which it follows from the constitutional jurisprudence.

    “In view of the above, and according to the arguments does not apply the 25% tax-free that is paragraph 10 of Article 206 of the Tax Code, the minimum retention.

    “Therefore the argument put forward in the Office 2016 001 344 is confirmed.
