Constitutional Court Partially Suspends the Second Installment of the Wealth Tax (Order 533 of 2026)
The Plenary Chamber of the Constitutional Court, through Order 533 of 2026 (Case RE-391), with Justice Lina Marcela Escobar Martínez as reporting justice, ordered the provisional suspension of the collection of the second installment of the wealth tax, which was scheduled to be due on May 4, 2026.
This measure was adopted within the framework of the automatic constitutional review of Legislative Decree 173 of February 24, 2026, issued in connection with the state of economic emergency declared by Legislative Decree 150 of 2026.
Scope of the Measure
The suspension ordered by the Court is partial and selective, and applies exclusively to the following entities:
(i) Non-profit entities subject to the Special Tax Regime
(ii) Entities undergoing liquidation proceedings.
For these taxpayers, the enforceability of the second installment of the wealth tax is temporarily suspended until the Constitutional Court issues a final decision on the constitutionality of the measure.
In contrast, other taxpayers subject to the wealth tax are, in principle, still required to comply with the payment of the second installment within the established deadlines, as they are not covered by the precautionary measure.
