How this guide works: ProCostaRica is an independent information service, not a law, accounting or relocation firm, and nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice. Any paid business profile will be clearly labeled “Paid profile”; payment never buys a verification badge or a place in our editorial guides. How we select providers.

Who needs one

  • Active companies with income or employees
  • Owners who rent out property
  • Residents with local income

Checking credentials

Ask for the accountant’s registration with the Colegio de Contadores Públicos de Costa Rica and confirm it.

What to agree

  • Which filings are included each month
  • Deadlines and who submits
  • Fees for extra services
