Costa Rica’s Law No. 10491: Facilitating Tax Regularisation and Economic Reactivation through VAT Benefits

• The SRI has issued a new circular for commercial land transportation, excluding taxis
• The circular requires mandatory invoicing for all services provided
• Only authorized transport companies can provide services and issue invoices
• Commercial land transport services meeting the new rules will be exempt from VAT
• Heavy cargo vehicles are not covered by the circular
• The goal is to ensure all income is declared and taxes are paid, as well as protect consumers
• Transporters must affiliate with an authorized operator, issue invoices for each trip, and keep detailed records
• Compliance with the circular allows legal and transparent operation, with VAT exemption for transporters in Ecuador.
