Maybe if it is well used it could be a good thing for all people living in CR. With that money, programs could be created. For example: financial help for students studying in healthcare services, a program that would encourage people to work in the healthcare system etc. The money to pay them and provide good tools. You could be the one needing such services at one time or another. It could be a good way for expats to participate to their new society ?
What are your thoughts about it ?
Are we even sure that this a fact? I spoke with two friends that currently have residency status (pension) and both told me that there is a cap (around $40/month) on what they pay to CAJA. Can someone provide a solid reference to this “new” tax in CR that may very well impact many current and future residents?
The cap is not $40 per month. I know this because we have a friend who’s paying $57 per month.
By all accounts, this new requirement to enroll in the CAJA is a done deal. At least all the media talk as if it is. But there’s a new twist I’ve only recently learned about . . . The 13% tax is applied to your income only after your allowable expenses are taken into account. So if you pay a lot for rent, utilities, food, etc, you won’t be paying 13% on quite as large a number. My dim recollection is that we went through this expense accounting procedure when we originally applied and, when the monthly cost the CAJA quoted exceeded the $40 we were quoted by ARCR, the CAJA folks called ARCR and the two of them reconciled the matter in favor of the $40 figure.
i was quoted a price of $86 a month, just for me, from CAJA. my neighbor was quoted $125 a month. these figures were based on proof of income. i´ve decided to join ARCR where the quote was $40 for me, don´t know what it will be for my husband.
Maravilla, my wife, Marcia, and I are enrolled in the CAJA via ARCR and we pay $40 per month for the two of us. Seems like there ought to be a way to get your husband into the program under your existing enrollment.
It sure sounds as if ARCR is the way to go if they manage to keep the same deal! But why would the government and CAJA allow rich gringos that might be paying 10X the $40 participate in the ARCR program?
