I was wondering if anyone here has bought property in Colombia AND SOLD IT............I have heard that there is a 46% or so tax on the sale of property and you can not send money out thru the banks unless you have paid the tax. There, I guess, are several forms that need to be filled out BEFORE, or maybe RIGHT AFTER, one buys property in order not to have to pay this high tax. None of the realtors that I have talked to in Colombia have any idea what I am talking about. Of course, they just want to sell you a property. I know that a lot of guys have BOUGHT property in Colombia, BUT have not heard anybody that has sold it and TAKEN MONEY OUT OF COLOMBIA. Is there anybody that has sold property or knows of someone I could contact that has done it?

Appreciate any info on this topic. thanks
