This new project will be presented, according to Minister Ocampo, in order to modify taxes of the territories, such as the ICA, the property tax, among others, so that in all regions (departments and municipalities) remain the same, taxes that generate significant income for the regions.
“I must point out that the Government is going to present a tax reform of departmental and municipal taxes. That is more like a rationalization of a system that is very complete, almost chaotic in some cases, to have a single better system ”, indicated Minister Ocampo, in the middle of the National Infrastructure Congress in Cartagena.
Regarding the deindexation of prices, that is, unlink product prices and inflation services, said that it will no longer be done with that basic inflation figure, Rather, the way to make it happen is being analyzed through the Tax Value Unit (UVT).
