ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

Costa Rica CORPORATE TAXES are DUE NOW for 2013!

CORPORATE S.A. TAXES are once again DUE between January 7-31, 2013 (per Law 9024).

Any BCR - Banco de Costa Rica


HOW MUCH
ACTIVE - 189,700-colones.  IN-ACTIVE - 94,850-colones


PAYMENT METHODS

(colones or dollars [but remember - in dollars will incorporate some conversions fees - especially if withdrawing the money from your atm machine])

or
Certified Check

I WON'T BE IN COSTA RICA BEFORE JANUARY 31, 2013 - HOW CAN I GET IT PAID?
Not living in Costa Rica or near a BCR?  ANYONE can go in and pay this for you (or pay it online if you can get into that account).  All they need is your S.A. number.


(IF someone is REALLY in a bind and needs help to get this paid and can get money to me [via one of my U.S. bank accounts or Paypal], I can do it for you - for a "Donation" PLUS whatever charges are incurred to get the money to me [atm fees on both ends and conversion fees] and a taxi for me to get to the bankE-mail me at LivingLifeInCostaRica@gmail.com

LATE FEES
Every payment that comes in starting February 1, 2013 (or is late from last year) accrues a LATE FEE of:  Active - 54-colones per day.  IN-Active - 27-colones per day.


INFORMATION YOU NEED TO PAY IT
Just your Corporate ID number.


DIDN'T PAY YOUR CORPORATE TAX FROM LAST YEAR??
(which took effect April 1, 2012): 
You MUST pay for the 2 periods WITH INTEREST and you can NOT make partial payments.
(did you not pay the full amount last year since it was not for a full year?)


NOTE ON NOT PAYING YOUR CORPORATE TAX:
"If you do not pay it, the person who has Power of Attorney over the corporation is responsible. If the corporation is empty (no car, no real estate owned), the government will dissolve the corporation in 3 years. But the POA is still liable. So if the POA owns assets in Costa Rica, they can eventually confiscate those until the taxes are paid (plus fines)."

HOW'S COLLECTION COMING FOR THIS NEW TAX?:
According to the Banco Central, as of December 31, 2012 - 220,414 companies had paid this new tax for 2012.
(I'm curious how MANY corporations are registered in Costa Rica [hence how many didn't pay it])
