For a few days, taxpayers had been experiencing some problems with accessing their invoices through a virtual medium that enabled the website of the District Finance Secretariat, due to the congestion that was occurring at the physical points used for this collection.

However, this virtual authorization did not seem to have a resolving effect and instead became another problem for people who tried to access their invoices to comply with the payment of property tax.

On social networks, some citizens were noted with their complaints about the mechanism, also asking for a solution, which came this Friday for many.

Now all residents of Bogotá who are obliged to pay the tax will have considerable time to obtain their invoices, since as indicated by the district authority, bills will be issued until April 30 so that each citizen can have access to this information and thus be able to make the payment corresponding, even on discounted dates, it is worth remembering will be until June 24, while the final date will be until July 29, 2022.
