Tax reform: Presidential approval expected in September

In the second week of August 2021, the debates in the economic commissions of the Senate and House of Representatives will begin so that the tax reform bill is approved by the end of the month.

After the Minister of Finance, José Manuel Restrepo, filed the tax reform bill, a chronogram began to be designed with the dates on which the bill would be approved.

According to María del Rosario Guerra, elected president of the Third Commission of the Senate, before the end of July, the rapporteurs of the tax reform should be defined so that in the first week of August the discussion will begin and then the debate in the joint economic commissions will take place:

As the project is quite consensual, in the second week of August, if possible, we will have the discussion of the joint economic commissions and by the end of August the project approved in Plenary.

The goal we have set ourselves is that by the first week of September the bill will be approved by the President.

The Minister of Finance highlighted the time that Congress has planned to process the initiative:

Given the urgency of social issues, we expect the Social Investment project to make its course in Congress in July and August.
