DAILY OF HUILA, NATIONAL
A new consignment date for the VAT refund subsidy is approaching, granted by the Department of Social Prosperity on a bimonthly basis. The beneficiaries, who have received this financial aid since 2020, are awaiting the announcement of the payment dates corresponding to cycles 13 and 14.
The VAT refund is a subsidy created by the Colombian Government in 2020 to mitigate the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on the most vulnerable families. This economic support is intended for Colombians registered in Sisbén IV who belong to the groups where people in poverty are located, which are category A or B. Citizens do not have to participate in any call, since it is the Government who chooses the beneficiaries.
The amount of the VAT refund is 80 thousand pesos, and until 2022 more than two million families were favored, for which an investment of more than 187 billion pesos was made.
The beneficiaries of this subsidy have expressed their gratitude for this financial aid, which has allowed them to face the economic difficulties they have faced due to the pandemic. For them, the arrival of a new consignment date represents a relief in their finances and an opportunity to move on.
From the Department of Social Prosperity, it is expected to announce in the next few days the consignment corresponding to February and March, to continue supporting the most vulnerable Colombian families. The VAT refund is a program that has established itself as an important economic support for those most in need, and which shows the Government’s commitment to the most vulnerable sectors of the country.
