In accordance with the CGP, time limits begin to run on the day following notification.<br>The Court further clarified that the fifth day referenced in paragraph three of Article 566-1 of the Tax Code (Estatuto Tributario ET) expires upon completion of the corresponding twenty four hour period. This interpretation is grounded in Article 59 of Law 4 of 1913 (Ley 4 de 1913), which provides that all legally established periods expressed in days, months, or years expire at midnight on the last day of the term. A year and a month are understood as calendar year and calendar month, and a day as a period of twenty four hours. The statutory deadline must therefore be interpreted accordingly.<br>This interpretation by the Council of State strengthens taxpayer protections. It ensures a clear and technically sound application of procedural deadlines in tax administrative proceedings and prevents violations of taxpayers\u2019 rights to defense and adversarial challenge.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ruling provides a technical analysis of the correct method for calculating statutory time limits to determine the deadline for filing a motion for reconsideration (recurso de reconsideraci\u00f3n) against a sanctioning resolution (resoluci\u00f3n sanci\u00f3n) notified electronically pursuant to Article 566-1 of the Tax Code (Estatuto Tributario E.T.).
