Colombian Tax Identification Number (CO-NIT)
Description
The NIT is a tax identification number assigned by DIAN (Dirección de Impuestos y Aduanas Nacionales), Colombia's national tax and customs authority. It uniquely identifies legal entities, businesses, and individuals for tax purposes.
To obtain a NIT an application must be made to the DIAN for a Registro Único Tributario (RUT) during which process the NIT will be assigned.
The NIT consists of a 9-digit base number plus a single verification digit, separated by a hyphen. This verification digit should be omitted when creating an organisation reference. The NIT is sometimes written as three 3-digit numbers, separated by dots, in which case the dots should be removed.
