Confusion over Columbia Electronic Invoicing Mandate Serves as a Reminder that It’s Coming

In short, the DIAN sent a letter stating that businesses should voluntarily issue electronic invoices beginning June 1. “Voluntarily” was the key word there, as the Colombia mandate does not take effect until Sept. 1.

Short time before electronic invoicing mandate kicks in 

Nevertheless, the brief panic the government’s letter caused serves as a warning to businesses that eInvoicing is coming to Colombia soon. Companies that have not prepared for the mandate need to find a service provider immediately.
