Abstract

Este documento evalúa la incidencia de la legislación tributaria colombiana sobre la inversión, mediante el cálculo de tarifas efectivas marginales (TEM) por sector económico. El análisis incorpora, además del impuesto sobre la renta, otros tributos que afectan la rentabilidad de las empresas, e incluye los principales cambios introducidos con la Ley 1111 de 2006. La TEM obtenida para el promedio de la economía es de 31%. Las presentadas en el sector comercio son las más altas, con un promedio superior al 50%, mientras que las industrias editoriales y las actividades sin ánimo de lucro exhiben TEM inferiores al 20%.
