Costa Rica will be a more attractive destination for foreigners in many ways if this law passes. One of the main features of the bill is that there will be a 100% tax exemption for imported vehicles for personal or family use.
The text puts forth that those who qualify can import “up to two land, air or sea transportation vehicles, for personal or family use, free of all import, customs and value added taxes.”
