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 And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise.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!!

LAST DATE to FILE BUSINESS & SELF EMPLOYMENT TAXES in Costa Rica -December 16, 2013

TODAY - Monday - December 16, 2013 - is the LAST DAY that businesses and the self-employed can pay tax without facing a penalty, as December 15th fell on a Sunday.

Those who miss the deadline face harsher penalties this year.

Statistics show that most people in Costa Rica procrastinate the filing of their tax returns.  In 2012, tax authorities received 76% of tax returns in the final two days before the deadline.    

Increases in penalties this year

An inaccurate tax return could mean a fine of up to 150% on the total amount left to pay, up from 25% to 75% last year.

Failure to file a tax statement at all brings a fine of up to 10 minimum wages.   Late payment of tax comes with penalties of 13% annually.  Additionally, the National Registry will not issue legal documents for corporations who are behind in their tax.
