When buying real estate for investment many buyers look overseas and one of the big advantages is normally the generous tax incentives on real estate investment property.

How does real estate taxes and no capital gains tax sound?

Combine this with fantastic growth potential and you can make money and save tax. Let’s look at one market as an example.

1. Low property Tax.

Property taxes in Costa Rica are extremely low when compared to say the United States. Property taxes vary from 0.5% to 1.5% of the declared value of the property.

The Municipal Tax is administered at the municipal level and varies throughout the country. Paid quarterly, the type of property, location and other factors contribute to the calculation of this tax.

2. No Corporation Tax

A great incentive provided by the Government for overseas investment is that there is no capital gains tax.

A buyer would not be taxed by the government on the profit from the future sale of the property as long as this is not undertaken as a primary means of business.

3. Legal rights of overseas buyers are protected

Ownership of real estate in Costa Rica by foreigners is fully guaranteed by the Government.

In addition, foreigners enjoy the same ownership rights as Cost Rican residents, regardless of whether the property is placed in the name of a corporation or in the name of the buyer.

The decision to have the property under the name of a corporation is up to the investor.

Corporations are very common and can offer benefits of asset protection and anonymity for the actual owner. The cost is approximately $500.00
