Tender Details

Expression of Interest are invited for Effective Debt Management in Unified Property Tax and Industry and Commerce - Colombia

In recent years, Switzerland, through the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and the World Bank, has supported both the Government of Colombia (GdC) and subnational governments under the institutional program known as Ciudata+.

This program supports decentralization in Colombia, enhancing municipal autonomy and planning by improving territorial information management, fiscal performance, and territorial planning. It focuses on capacity building at the municipal level for data management, tax collection, and application of land value capture instruments. Additionally, it fosters dialogue between municipal governments and the National Government to share knowledge on land management and fiscal administration.

During its diagnostic phase, The CiuData+ program identified a high tax debt in the unified property tax (IPU) and, to a lesser extent, in the industry and commerce tax (ICA) across the diagnosed municipalities. Key issues contributing to this include:

• Inadequate institutional divisions equipped with human and technological resources for effective collection.

• Challenges in handling collections due to insufficient personnel and resources.

• Absence of control and follow-up systems for delinquent taxpayers.

• Lack of a clear and enforceable tax collection title.

• Payment capacity issues among taxpayers.

• Inefficiency in identifying and excluding tax-exempt properties and special legal conditions.

• Communication barriers between tax administrations and taxpayers.

• Weak tax culture among taxpayers.
