UK Colombia Tax Residence: Key Double Tax Rules Explained
Most Colombians arriving in London assume their flight ends their Colombian tax exposure. It rarely does. In practice, the double tax convention in force since 2020 often does less work
Del Canto Chambers is proud to serve clients from our office in Chapinero, Bogota’s financial and diplomatic district, and a natural base for advice that has to work on both sides of the Atlantic.
Our Bogota team acts for two kinds of clients. The first is the British, Spanish, Irish and American national moving to Colombia, whether for residence, retirement, investment, marriage or inheritance. The second is the Colombian family with assets, children, property or business interests in the UK, Spain or Ireland. Both need the same thing: advisors who understand Colombian law and tax from the inside, and who can join it up with the rules of the jurisdiction on the other end.
Expertise You Can Trust
Our Bogota office is led by Colombian-admitted abogadas working alongside Del Canto Chambers’ UK-qualified barrister and Spanish-qualified Director. The result is a team that can advise on Colombian law and represent a client’s interests in London, Madrid or Dublin in the same conversation, not a handoff between separate firms.
A strategic location
Chapinero sits on the corridor between Bogota’s financial district and its diplomatic quarter, close to the institutions and counterparts our clients deal with. We arrange appointments across time zones as a matter of course: 09:00 in Bogota is 14:00 in London, and our clients are used to working across both.
A holistic approach
Tax residency, immigration status, succession and family governance rarely move in isolation, and a change in one usually affects the others. We combine tax, legal and immigration advice under one roof, so a client relocating to Colombia, or a Colombian family with interests abroad, gets one coherent strategy.
Contact our Bogota office to discuss your circumstances. We advise clients relocating to Colombia and Colombian families with interests in the UK, Spain and Ireland. Appointments are arranged across time zones by prior agreement.
