Today it was the turn of 5,000 commercial establishments located in 18 shopping centers in Bogotá. Among them were Multiplaza, Titán, Portal 80, Centro Mayor, Santafé, Parque La Colina, Andino, Plaza Claro, Mall Plaz, Unilago and Unicentro.
And later, Dian officials will reach 200 shopping centers throughout the country.
Dian officials inspect the premises of shopping centers so that they issue the electronic invoice.
The objective of the visit was to verify that they are indeed expanding the electronic invoice and that they are doing it well, only asking consumers for the three mandatory data, which are the name, ID and email.
The consequences for establishments that are not invoicing electronically when they are obliged, or that are not doing so in full compliance with the requirements, range from sanctions of 1 percent of the non-invoiced operation to the closure of the establishment for 3 days.
Since 2019, the DIAN receives around 5 million daily invoices and they have response times of less than a second for the validation of each invoice.

“There are officials guiding the citizen responsible for omitting the invoice, despite the fact that since last December all forced to invoice electronically should begin to comply with this obligation,” said Cecilia Rico, Dian’s director of revenue management.
According to the entity, the delinquent portfolio of the establishments located in the 18 shopping centers adds up to a total of 204,505 million pesos.
This corresponds to 622 delinquent taxpayers identified in the 18 shopping centers.
