Tico and expat confusion reigns on new luxury tax

2009-10-20T10:24:00Z

By the A.M. Costa Rica staff Expats can be forgiven if they are confused by the new luxury tax on homes. Even some Costa Ricans who participated in drawing up the law are confused, too. The biggest issue appears to be if land should be included in the valuation to determine the amount on which tax is to be assessed. Some say yes and some say no.
