On February 13, 2025, Colombia’s National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) proposed changes to electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) rules under Resolution 000165 of 2023.

Essential updates include:

  • Limited Purchaser Information: When requesting an e-invoice or a POS receipt, businesses can only ask for three details:

*Name or company name

*Identification type and number

*Email (only if the invoice is sent electronically)

  • Automated Purchaser Identification: A new tech system will allow e-invoicing platforms to auto-fill buyer details by entering their ID number, but this information cannot be used for other purposes,
  • Public Utility Billing Rules: Utility companies can only include charges related to the service provided, unless the user gives explicit consent. If billing is done on-site and technological issues arise, companies have 48 hours to generate and send the invoice.

These changes aim to simplify e-invoicing, enhance automation, and ensure transparency in billing for public services.
