New DIAN regulation expands oversight of digital asset transactions

Colombia has introduced stricter oversight of the digital asset sector as its tax authority moves to require crypto exchanges and service providers to submit detailed user data. The measure is designed to strengthen tax compliance and improve transparency across the country’s fast-growing crypto market.

New DIAN Reporting Requirements Explained

Under Resolution 000240, issued in late December 2025, the National Directorate of Taxes and Customs (DIAN) now obliges platforms dealing in bitcoin, ether, stablecoins, and other cryptocurrencies to collect and report extensive information. This includes account ownership, transaction volumes, market values, and net balances. The rules apply to both local and foreign providers serving Colombian residents, aligning national policy with the OECD Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework.

Enforcement Timeline and Penalties

Although the regulation took effect immediately, reporting begins with the 2026 tax year, with the first full submission due by May 2027. Failure to comply may result in fines of up to 1% of unreported transaction values.

Colombia remains one of Latin America’s largest crypto markets, processing over $44 billion in transactions in a recent 12-month period, underscoring why authorities are tightening oversight.
