New Changes in e-Invoicing in Colombia
The Colombian Ministry of Health has extended the deadline for implementing the Individual Registry of Health Services Provision (RIPS) to support electronic invoicing in the health sector.
Under Resolution No. 1884, the phased rollout will be based on the complexity of services provided, starting in October 2024 for high-complexity providers, February 2025 for medium-complexity providers, and April 2025 for low-complexity providers and independent professionals.
Colombia's electronic invoicing system, first recognized in 1995, has undergone significant evolution. The latest developments include Resolution 000119/2024, which introduces a three-month extension for implementing equivalent electronic documents in sectors such as public utilities, transport tickets, and banking statements. Additionally, air transport tickets can now be issued within 48 hours of booking.
The RIPS transition aims to streamline health service billing through electronic systems. It marks a significant milestone in Colombia’s broader digital transformation of its tax and invoicing framework, driven by the National Tax and Customs Directorate (DIAN). Providers entering the health registry after September 2024 will be required to adopt the system by April 2025.
