FAQ
Our advisory services not only help you comply with current tax regulations but also allow you to optimize your tax burden, avoid penalties, and reduce legal risks. We design personalized strategies so your business operates securely, efficiently, and more profitably.
If you’ve received a tax audit notice, a tax determination against you, or an undue penalty, it is crucial to act quickly with specialized defense. Legal support is also recommended during tax audits to prevent arbitrary adjustments or sanctions from the Tax Administration.
If your business has reported significant income changes, engages in transactions with foreign related companies, or has inconsistencies in its tax returns, it may be selected for an audit. With a preventive tax diagnosis, we can identify and fix potential risks before they become problems.
Having a well-designed tax strategy allows you to pay only what is fair, take advantage of benefits allowed under Costa Rican law, and avoid surprises that could affect your cash flow. At FAYCATAX, we analyze your business model and develop customized solutions that optimize your tax structure, ensuring greater stability and sustainable growth.
