Colombia Enforces Strict New Crypto Tax Reporting Rule
Colombia now requires crypto exchanges to report user data, balances, and volumes to curb tax evasion.
- DIAN mandates crypto platforms to submit user and transaction data
- New rule targets tax evasion in the crypto sector
- Applies to both domestic and international exchanges
In a major regulatory shift, Colombia’s tax authority, DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales), has issued a new rule that requires cryptocurrency exchanges to provide detailed reports on user activity. This move is part of the government’s broader effort to crack down on tax evasion and bring transparency to the fast-growing crypto sector.
The resolution, officially named Resolution No. 000240, was issued on December 24, 2025. It obligates all crypto service providers — including both local and foreign platforms that serve Colombian residents — to submit extensive data related to digital asset transactions.
What Must Be Reported?
The exchanges will be required to provide data that includes:
- Full user identity and account ownership information
- Transaction volume, frequency, and the value of assets traded
- The market value of crypto assets during each transaction
- Final balances held in user accounts at year-end
These reporting requirements apply to all major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. DIAN will use this information to compare against individual and corporate tax filings, aiming to reduce underreporting of income related to digital assets.
Reporting Begins in 2026
Crypto platforms must begin collecting data in the 2026 fiscal year. The first full report must be submitted by the last business day of May 2027. DIAN has warned that non-compliance or submission of false or incomplete data will result in significant penalties — including fines up to 1% of the total value of unreported transactions.
This move places Colombia in line with global tax transparency efforts, including the OECD’s Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). By enforcing these standards, the country is taking a clear stance on regulating the digital economy and preventing financial crimes through crypto platforms.
