La tutela que salvó a Reficar
Hace pocos días, la juez Mirtha Margarita Hoyos resolvió amparar los derechos fundamentales de Reficar, con el propósito que la DIAN se abstenga de embargar las cuentas de la empresa por el cobro del IVA de unos combustibles importados.
TL;DR
- A judge protected Reficar's fundamental rights by ordering the DIAN to refrain from embargoing its accounts.
- The DIAN issued a new concept in December, retroactively charging IVA on imported fuels and demanding payment for the last three years.
- Reficar argued that IVA was paid on the first sale in Colombia and that the DIAN's action violated international trade norms (GATT).
- The ruling averted the potential cessation of Reficar's operations, preserving about three thousand direct jobs.
- Reficar is a major industrial exporter for Colombia and a significant taxpayer in Cartagena.
- There were expressions of gratitude towards the judge for saving Reficar and a plea for the DIAN to reconsider its position.
