The design of the new form follows the directions of Resolution 60222 of 2012 created by the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce based on fields established by the Código de Comercio (spanish version). Therefore, we can not delete information fields that are required by the regulation. However, the easiest way to fill out the form is via the internet, since most of the information is already recorded there.

If you cancel the existence of your company registration before March 31 you will not have to pay for the current year. After March 31, payment for renewing the 2020 registration is mandatory, both for companies that want to continue with the existence of their company and for those who do not.

1. The value for the certificate quota of each member will be calculated based on the rate paid by the business owner for the current year.
2. Since membership runs up to March 31 each year; that will be the deadline for the member to use the quota to which it is entitled for free certificates.
3. Accordingly, regardless of the renewal date of the business registration and membership (active member), the deadline to use the free certificates will run up to March 31 of the following year. If the quota runs out before that, the value corresponding to the additional certificates requested must be paid.
4. When business owners renew their business registration and membership during the first quarter of the current year, their quota will be the rate paid in said year, and the unused balance of the previous year will be deleted. That is, the balances for the use of free certificates are never cumulative.
5. When members do not renew their business registration and membership in the first quarter of each year, the quota for free certificates will be COP 0 as of April 1 of the current year. When members renew their registration and membership in the same calendar year, the quota for free certificates will be activated, which will be valid up to March 31 of the following year, although the new quota will not be cumulative with the unused balance from the preceding year.
