Bogotá Industry and Commerce Tax administration

Overview

The administration of Bogotá has managed the Industry and Commerce Tax (ICA) through both standard collection cycles and proposed legislative changes.

In August 2026, the deadline for the third bimester of the year passed, covering commercial operations from May and June. The Secretaría Distrital de Hacienda (SDH) reported that the city had collected 4.7 trillion pesos by mid-August, reaching 58.6% of its 8 trillion peso annual goal. Officials warned that missing these deadlines results in automatic sanctions and moratory interest.

Following these collection cycles, the Bogotá City Council approved the first debate for a tax reform project titled ‘Por una Ciudad Inteligente’. This reform aims to modify ICA rates to attract investment, including a gradual reduction for the financial sector through 2029 and differentiated rates for various vehicle types. While the project includes tax relief mechanisms for those settling outstanding debts, some groups, such as Fenalco Bogotá Cundinamarca, have expressed opposition to specific rate changes for liquor sales.
