In an attempt to reactivate the economy strongly impacted by the nationwide lockdown implemented to contain the spread of COVID-19, Colombia's government designated a series of tax-free shopping days. The second of the three days without value-added tax (VAT) on certain product categories was held on July 3, 2020, and left unprecedented results in online sales. On that day, the number of online sales grew by 143 percent compared to a regular Friday and generated nearly 332 billion Colombian pesos in internet purchases paid by credit or debit card.
