Increased taxes for those with better incomes, imposition of taxes on single-use plastics, as well as on sugary and ultra-processed drinks, and on mining and energy exports when the price exceeds a certain level, are some of the proposals of the incoming government.

The bill filed by the new leftist government of Colombia to modify the tax system promises a heated debate in the Congress of the Republic, where it was filed this Monday, June 8.
The initiative proposes to limit tax benefits for people who have incomes above ten million pesos per month (about ten minimum wages), which represent two percent of the population.
