The reporting of exogenous information is a key process that, under various circumstances, must be fulfilled by companies and individuals, whether or not they are taxpayers of the Industry and Commerce Tax in Bogotá, withholding agents of this tax, subjects of such withholdings, and others. This tax obligation is essential to ensure transparency and the correct reporting of economic activities to the tax authorities.
What is Exogenous Information?
Exogenous information is the set of data that obligated parties must report to the District Treasury Department of Bogotá about their economic, financial, and commercial operations. These reports allow authorities to conduct effective tax control and detect potential tax evasion.

It is important to be mindful of these deadlines and prepare all necessary documentation in advance.
Filing Method
Exogenous information must be submitted in magnetic media, following the formats and technical specifications established by the District Treasury Deparment. Ensuring that the reports meet all technical requirements is crucial to avoid rejections and possible penalties. The filing method includes:
1. XML Files: This is the standard format required for most reports.
2. Digital Signatures: All documents must be digitally signed to ensure their authenticity and validity.
3. Online Platform: Submission is made through the platform enabled by the District Treasury Deparment, where the corresponding files must be uploaded.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failure to submit exogenous information by the established deadlines can result in significant financial penalties and other legal inconveniences. Fines for omission or late submission can severely impact the finances of a company or individual. Additionally, non-compliance can lead to tax investigations and audits.
