The National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN) implemented several adjustments in the Unique Tax Registry (RUT) For this year, in order to improve the protection of personal data and simplify the procedures for taxpayers.
Now, the RUT will have an indefinite validity and will only have to be updated when changes in the information of each citizen are presented.

The update of this record is mandatory only in these situations:
– Change of place of residence: In case you have changed your address address.
– Modification of telephone number: If you have updated your contact number.
– Email update: If your email address has changed.
– Alteration of economic activity: If you have started, modified or ceased any registered economic activity.
