Frequently Asked Questions About This Service
What is the distinction between tax evasion, abusive avoidance, and legitimate tax planning?
Legitimate tax planning relies strictly on statutory options explicitly granted by law ('economía de opción'), whereas simulated or artificial transactions violate legal standards and are rejected by our firm.
Can CPA Colombia assist us in claiming corporate income tax or VAT refunds?
Yes. We perform an exhaustive preliminary audit of supporting documents prior to filing to substantiate the validity of the claimed credit balance.
