The expiration of deadlines so that Colombians called to make their Income statement do this process before the National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN). For this year, 6.7 million taxpayers must comply with this obligation.
Although completing and presenting form 210 is something that cannot be breached, Many people end up finding entity requirements for errors that, in most cases, are avoidable.

Lizeth Meza, Business Director of Tributi.comhe explained to the newspaper the time that almost all inconsistencies come, in general, from exogenous information.
Income statement
“That is the information reported by third parties, be it your employer, your banks or other entities. So, almost all errors derive from what Dian has at its base and what you end up reporting”, He explained.
(Besides: How much is the fine that you must pay if you do not declare rent to the Dian).
According to the expert, Most of the requirements have as a start point the moment in which taxpayers do not add in their declaration income that is already reported by third parties.
“The most frequent reason that can make the Dian tell you: ‘Here is an inconsistency, I need support this difference or correct’ is that you omit income that you have perceived and that they are already reported in exogenous information“He mentioned.
Dian
And he added: “The recommendation is simple: never try to hide income. And if there are differences against what the DIAN reports, have at hand the tax certificates issued by the corresponding entities“

Another very common mistake is to register relatives who do not meet the requirements as dependents. “I recommend all Colombians: please, do not put dependent that are not really dependent”Said the expert.
He also mentioned that if a dependent obtained income above the 260 Tax Value Units (UVT), that is, 12.2 million pesos in 2024stop fulfilling the condition. In this case, including it can lead to an immediate requirement before the DIAN.
How to perform the procedure?
Deductions are also the cause of usual errors. One of the most delicate cases is the benefit of 1% for purchases with electronic billing. “If in the exogenous you appear 64,000 pesos of deduction and you put 500,000, obviously the Dian will call you and will ask for accounts”Said the foosta foler.com.
Something similar happens with disproportionate expenses to income: “If you report costs or expenses that represent a very high percentage, the Dian can ask for the supports. If you don’t have them, it’s a problem”He said.
