Requirements for the exemption of income from employment performed abroad

A worker who relocated to Colombia for a civil engineering project has inquired whether their income is subject to Personal Income Tax (IRPF) and if they qualify for the foreign work exemption. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) clarifies that tax residency is determined by the criteria set out in Article 9 of the Personal Income Tax Law. Furthermore, if the individual is a resident, the exemption applies provided the work is performed for a non-resident entity in a country that has an information exchange agreement in place.
