Tax Returns and Tax Advisory in Costa Rica
We file and review your returns with the Costa Rican Tax Administration (Dirección General de Tributación) through TRIBU-CR, on time and with documentary support. We serve companies, independent professionals, property owners and foreigners with operations in Costa Rica.
What is included
- Income tax and informative returns
- Value added tax (VAT): monthly return and control of credit balances
- Withholdings, including salary tax
- Capital gains on the sale of real estate and other assets
- Short-term rentals (platforms such as Airbnb) and independent professionals
- Regularization and responses to Tax Administration requests
Why doing it right and on time matters
Filing on time avoids fines and interest, and planning ahead usually reduces surprises, especially before selling a property or closing the fiscal year. Deadlines and rates change with reforms, so we work with the rules in force at the time of each return.
