I reality, the majority of high priced vacation rentals are booked by Ticos and Tico business events. I say, “Let them pay their fair share”, as those Ticos are the same ones who evade taxes in their business ventures. Just how many of those luxury properties are owned by foreigners?

This is so stupied. Why not just kill what is left to be killed in Costa Rica. I know many Costa Ricans that are selling there homes to leave the country. My freind loves Costa Rica but now it to dam expensive for him to come to much taxes.

Here we go again. It never seizes to amaze me how this government continues to shoot itself in the foot. The only real money coming to Costa Rica is in the form foreign investment and they have already lost over 50% in the past year. So why not put the final nail in the coffin by harassing the tourist industry, Costa Rica’s number one source of income. Almost every government in the world is raising taxes instead of cutting expenses. Costa Ricans generally don’t like or trust the government, yet they are so quick to take the handouts. So sad this is. For Costa Rica has the natural resources for sustainable living for all our people. Maybe our new president could lead us into prosperity from within. But then again, he may be just another puppet.
