Costa Rica Tax

The Costa Rican tax system is unlike any in the world. With areas like capital gains entirely exempt from taxes and mechanisms such as an S.A. corporation arrangement to avoid some tax liability, there are a number of intricacies to the system that can help you achieve your business and investment goals more efficiently.
