    BCR isn’t ready, that’s for sure. I would wait until the 11th hour to pay it esp since several people have hinted that the rules of engagement could change

    I will definitely not pay until the second half of April. They should have worked it out by then, maybe…….. 🙄

    on another board someone suggested waiting even longer than the middle of april because of the potential sala iv decision that may change everything. they cited the traffic fines as a perfect example. the people who paid the egregious fines (i paid $350 for a ticket for parking in the yellow zone!) won’t ever get their money back and now all the fines are a fraction of what was originally posted.

    second half can be the last day and I agree, don’t let them make a dime of interest on our money. I also paid a traffic ticked of almost 300 $ which would now be a fraction of that.

    The amounts would be 75% of $270 & $135 respectively according to what I have read, which is $101.25 for sociedad anonima inactiva.

    This is the information we have received from two different lawyers:

    Active Companies: ¢ 135,000 = $273 approx.
    Inactive Companies: ¢ 67,500 = $137 approx.

    Starting 2013 (*)
    Active Companies: ¢ 180,300 = $360 approx.
    Inactive Companies: ¢ 90,150 = $180 approx.

    (*) This amount is approximate because it will be recalculated every year based on a variable scale known as the “base salary” as well as on the exchange rate applicable at that time.

    Seems that BCR has figured it out, over 1500 corporations already have paid their tax.

    It appears that ehe fine for not paying the corporate tax is 50 colones per day for active corporations and 25 colones for inactive ones.

    It is also important to keep in mind that if you have not paid the tax, you cannot get personerias juridicas from the National Registry, so doing any business that involves the corporation would be difficult if not impossible.

    The BCR online banking system has not been able to process payment of the taxes. So I went to the BCR branch in Belen and found the wait to be several hours. I got took my ficha and left to get my haircut and ran some other errands and returned to BCR two hours later and my number was called. Once I got to a customer service agent, she told me that the Registro Nacional system was down and that she could not complete the transaction. So I took another ficha, went to lunch and returned an hour an a half later, and my number was called and the Regsitro Nacional system was back on-line and I was able to pay the tax. After 20 years in the jungle, life in ticolandia never ceases to amaze me !

    did they fine you for being late? Have they said anything about giving an extension for payment considering all the problems they have had with the sytema?

    The fee is calculated on a daily basis in the Registro Nacional computer system. When it’s working.
    You pay the tax that appears in the computer at BCR or you don’t. There’s no negotiations or discussions.
    You can check out how much is owed by any Persona Jurídica at this site: http://www.rnpdigital.com/shopping/consultaDocumentos/consultaMorosidadPJ.jspx' defer onload='
