Costa Rica is a great jurisdiction for both private business and entrepreneurs. The countries close proximity to North America and a raft of Free Trade Agreements make for an attractive business environment. Costa Rica has a range of attractive fiscal advantages, which further encourage foreign investment in the region. Some examples of these include no value-added tax (VAT) and the presence of Free Trade Zones.
Watch the short presentation below, created by our team in San Jose and learn about the accounting and taxation requirements for companies operating in Costa Rica.
