Decree 589 of April 11, 2016, and Decree 768 of May 6, 2016 changed the requirements for the registration and update of the Single Fiscal Registrar (RUT).  Therefore, starting in May 11, 2016, the process for the assignment of NITs through the CCB has been simplified for both individuals as well as for legal persons.

 

• Follow these steps for the proceedings in CCB

• Procedure for the issuance of the NIT (Tax ID)

  In order for individuals and legal persons to request to be registered into the RUT, through the CCB, entrepreneurs must deliver the documentation listed in Resolution 52 of 2016.

   

  If the documentation is complete, the DIAN will assign the final NIT via web services, and will deliver Form 001, corresponding to the RUT, to be printed at the Chamber of Commerce; this form will be printed once by the CCB service representative. Therefore, the requirement to open a new account with a financial institution and the generation of Form 1648 with a provisional NIT have been eliminated.

   

  Requirements for individuals:

  • Printed Single Fiscal Registrar (RUT) form, filled out through the National Tax Authority's (DIAN) portal, which includes the annotation "FOR PROCESSING AT THE CHAMBER".
  • Providing the original and one copy of the requester's personal ID. When the proceeding is done by a proxy, a copy of the proxy's personal ID must be provided, along with a copy of the beneficiary's personal ID; also, the original version of the power of attorney or a simple copy of it must be attached, along with a certification of its term as issued by a notary, whenever the power of attorney's effective term is longer than six (6) months.

   

  Requirements for legal persons:

  • Printed Single Fiscal Registrar (RUT) form, filled out through the National Tax Authority's (DIAN) portal, which includes the annotation "FOR PROCESSING AT THE CHAMBER".
  • Providing the original and one copy of the legal representative's personal ID. When the proceeding is done by a proxy, a copy of the proxy's personal ID must be provided, along with a copy of the beneficiary's personal ID; also, the original version of the power of attorney or a simple copy of it must be attached, along with a certification of its term as issued by a notary, whenever the power of attorney's effective term is longer than six (6) months.

  Bear in mind that in both cases it is necessary to verify: 

   
  • The proper filing of the information registered in the Single Fiscal Registrar (RUT). 
  • That the copy of the personal ID document attached matches the original document provided. 
  • That whoever requests the proceeding is the individual that is registered or the proxy that has been duly authorized to undertake the proceeding. 
  • That the address provided in the RUT form matches the one provided in the RUES form
