Cesantías are a type of unemployment insurance that are designed to support you when you become unemployed in Colombia. Cesantías are typically written into your employment contract for Colombia and will define at what point the Cesantías will be paid (perhaps at the end of a six month work contract in Colombia or annually if you settle as a long term expat/become a resident for tax purposes in Colombia etc.). Cesantías are typically equal to one equally monthly salary based on an annualised salary. The Cesantías is also subject to interest based on 12% per annum which is 1 per month.
Taxes, including personal income tax, expenses and limitations are reviewed by the Government in Colombia periodically and typically updated each year. Not that not all tax rates and thresholds in Colombia change annually, alterations to tax policy to support strategic economic growth in Colombia mean that the certain areas may be focused on to provide specific tax relief in Colombia or support growth in certain areas (overseas invstment in Colombia for example may mean reduced non-resident income tax rates in Colombia for a period).
When tax policy in Colombia changes, the resultant tax tables also change. Tax tables in Colombia are simply a list of the relevent tax rates, fixed amounts and / or threholds used in the computation of tax in Colombia, the Colombia tax tables also include specific notes and guidance on the validity of scenarios (for example, qualifying criterea for specific tax relief / allowances) and notes of the calculation of phaseout of specific tax elements within each taxation group (dividends and corporation tax thresholds in Colombia for example).
Colombia Tax Tables may also be referred to as Colombia Tax Slabs, Colombia personal allowances and tax thresholds or Colombia business tax rates. They all refer to the tax tables, whether in whole or as specific sections/categories of the tax tables therein.
