The Dian will focus on more than 42,700 taxpayers who have late payment obligations, that is, those who submitted their VAT or national consumption tax returns, but did not make the corresponding payment. The entity highlights the seriousness of this situation, warning that failure to comply with these obligations can lead to custodial sentences.
As part of the planned actions, Dian plans to seize 11,950 bank accounts of taxpayers with delinquent portfolios up to a year and a half old. In addition, appraisals will be carried out on 457 seized assets and 491 auction procedures for seized assets are scheduled.
