Through a statement, the Colombian Association of Gastronomic Industry (Acodres) announced that it officially filed with the office of the director of the Diana complaint “for possible evasion” against the Rappi address platform.
According to the union, which brings together 10,000 restaurants across the country, the platform “It is not advancing the respective collection of the consumption tax for the sales of food and beverages prepared in gastronomic establishments”.
“After receiving complaints from affiliates in recent weeks, the union was able to establish that this situation is contrary to what is established in the Tax Statute and harms both the level of income that the State should receive for non-consumption, as well as the low income that gastronomic establishments are able to perceive, at a time when the pressure of inflation on costs does not allow them to obtain significant profits despite the recovery of consumption after the pandemic,” said the document, signed by Guillermo Gómez París, executive president of Acodres.
