Get ready, because From August, utility bills will no longer arrive at your doorstep, as was previously the case. This is taking into account that the National Tax and Customs Directorate (Dian) issued a resolution in May that generates a change in this regard.
(We suggest: With electronic invoicing, does the paper invoice disappear completely?)
It’s about the Resolution 008 of 2024 that obliges public service companies such as gas, water, electricity and telecommunications to generate and process the invoice electronically, at the same time that paper in billing is progressively eliminated in the country and move on to this new mechanism.
Companies will have a period of enabling and stabilization of their systems that allows them to make the transition to this new model, which implies that they will be able to pilot the elimination of the traditional paper invoice. Likewise, during this period they will be able to analyze the operation of their systems in relation to communication with Dian.

Among the aspects that companies must review are mechanisms so that people without access to electronic means can access invoices and the details about their consumption, additional services, subsidies and more.
For companies that begin to use this invoice methodologya, this will have benefits such as tax deduction.
Now, for cases in which the user definitely reject the use of electronic invoicing, companies must maintain the use of printed invoicesalthough it must also have a Unique Electronic Invoice Code (CUFE) and a QR code that guarantees accessibility.
