33,350 Active short-term rental properties

The Problem You Face Every Month

⚠️

Devastating Fines

Penalties for non-compliance exceed ₡800,000 plus 1% monthly late interest. A single mistake on your D-104 VAT return can cost you the equivalent of 2-3 months of income.

📋

Complex Monthly Obligations

You must file 3 forms before the 15th of every month: D-104 (VAT), D-125 (income tax), plus mandatory electronic invoicing. A system designed for accountants, not entrepreneurs.

🎯

New Automatic Tax Enforcement

Starting in 2025, Hacienda (Costa Rica's tax authority) receives data directly from international platforms. 90% of hosts are small entrepreneurs who are not prepared for this new tax reality.

💸

Millions in Unintentional Evasion

In this sector alone, ₡17,000 million in tax evasion was documented. Owners don't evade in bad faith — they simply don't understand a complex tax system.

🔄

Specialized Tax Calculations

The 13% VAT only applies on ₡693,300 per month, income tax is calculated at an effective 12.75% using specific formulas, and you must convert USD to colones at the official exchange rate.

⏰

Time Lost to Bureaucracy

Every month you lose 8-12 hours on calculations, forms, and trips to the accountant. Time you could invest in improving your property and earning more income.
