Tax advisory · Medellín, Colombia
I am Vanesa Córdoba, a Colombian tax advisor. I help individuals and companies file correctly, use the benefits the law does allow, and answer calmly when a notice arrives.
Services
Every case starts the same way: first I understand your situation, then I tell you what applies and what does not. No promises before I have seen your numbers.
I prepare and file your return with the documentation in order, applying the deductions and exempt income you are actually entitled to.
The work starts before the form: reconciling the books with the tax figures and leaving the supporting file ready in case DIAN asks later.
We set the company up properly on day one, because fixing a badly filed RUT costs more than doing it right the first time.
Oversight with its own legal liability: an opinion on the financial statements and control over the company's compliance.
Arranging things before the year closes, not looking for exits in March. Legal savings, with the evidence gathered in time.
A credit balance is not refunded on its own: it has to be claimed, complete and within the deadline. I check which route applies and build the claim.
The question everyone asks first
You do not file because you are an employee or a contractor. You file because you crossed the year's thresholds. Five things are checked, and crossing just one makes you liable.
What I handle
These are the matters I work on most often. If yours is on the list, you already know it is not the first time I have seen it.
How I work
Write to me on WhatsApp or by email and tell me what you need. That first conversation to understand your situation is free.
I look at your figures and your documents and tell you what can be done, what cannot, and what is missing. That is when you get the scope and the cost.
I prepare and file what we agreed, explain the result, and stay available for any notice that arrives about that period.
Scope
Making this clear at the start avoids misunderstandings later.
Complete information, on time. Most of the penalties I see do not come from a calculation error, but from documents that turned up late or never turned up at all.
Frequently asked
If yours is not here, the assistant on this page will answer it or put you through to me.
Five thresholds are checked: gross assets, gross income, credit card spending, total purchases and consumption, and deposits and investments. Crossing just one makes you liable. The amounts are set in UVT and change every year, so they have to be checked against the specific year you are filing for.
For an individual return, the usual set: income and withholding certificates, bank and investment certificates, details of assets and debts at year end, and the supporting documents for whichever deductions you want to claim. Write to me with your case and I will send the exact list, with nothing superfluous.
Yes, by using the benefits the law provides and documenting them properly. What most often leaves people overpaying is a deduction that did exist but could not be proven. That is what planning is for, before the year closes.
Send it to me as soon as possible. With electronic notification, the response deadline starts running from when the notice was sent to your registered email, not from the day you opened it. The clock is already running.
By settling the regime and the tax obligations before registering the RUT, not after. I handle the full package: Chamber of Commerce, RUT, electronic invoicing, electronic payroll where applicable, and the income, cost and expense projection.
Yes. I am based in Medellín and work remotely with clients elsewhere in Colombia, and with Colombians abroad who still file in Colombia. The whole process can be handled at a distance.
