I have paid 2 put of the 4 years I have in back taxes 2. would I be prevented from registering a car in my private name (not my corporation name) if I have not paid the back taxes? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eleanorcr 0 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Is your car currently registered in the name of your corporation? If so, I seriously doubt you could just register it in your name. It is an "asset" of the corporation and you would probably have to get it changed through the registro. This is something a lawyer needs to do for you. Have you not paid the marchamo for your car? You're not driving it, are you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doppelt 0 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 you misunderstood I have not bought a car I do not own a car I am going to buy a car in my name will I be able to register it even though I have back taxes on a corporation do they connect the dots? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eleanorcr 0 Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Sorry, Dennis, but your first post was not clear. Thanks for providing some pertinent details. If you buy a car in your name, you can certainly register it in your name and your tax situation with your corporation has no bearing. They don't "punish" you for being behind in your taxes by not allowing you to buy and register a car. Good to know you are clearing up the old taxes. I know you will be relieved when that is done.

doppelt 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) AWWWK! re: corporations: as I mentioned before, I had a 20 year old corporation in costa rica it had no books, no assets and no associated business I did not know there were new taxes, as of a new law in 2012 or so when I went on line to the national registry, I could login and click on Impuerto Juridicas , (sorry about spelling) and it would tell me all the years of taxes and what I owed. 4 years, from 2012-2015 inclusive. In the last 8 months, I have paid 3 of those years, almost 900.00 I only had 2015 left to pay But...when I logged in today, it no longer shows any information for me it told me this: ________________ Delinquency Public InquiryInfo..Law No. 9024 Tax on Legal EntitiesThe class of legal person indicated is not subject to collection.Important Notice: The Bank of Costa Rica was authorized to pay delinquent periods individually, in order of seniority. --------------------------- does anyone know what this may mean? I emailed my lawyer, but he does not always respond to email questions I am going to BCR today and ask if they know, thanks Dennis Edited May 6, 2017 by doppelt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doppelt 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Solved. maybe Just got back from BCR they said that the national registry site is undergoing upgrades and maybe that is why i got that message. BCR was able to see my account properly on their screen and i paid my last year of back taxes. now i know that the co rporation tax police are not looking for me. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eleanorcr 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Yay for good news, Dennis! So great you are finally caught up and don't have to look over your shoulder for the corporation tax police. haha One more hurdle crossed and out of the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doppelt 0 Posted May 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 well this is interesting... now after I paid the last of my back taxes, I can see a normal page in the national registry site on my account but it says the following, which makes no sense in google translate.. if you k ow, please let me know, it looks like I have no periods pending to pay, and the corporation was dissolved? thanks Dennis here it is: ----------------- RAZON SOCIAL SUEÑOS DE ESCAPE SOCIEDAD ANONIMAPERIODOS PENDIENTES 0ESTADO DISUELTA POR LEY 9024A ESTE MOMENTO LA ENTIDAD SE ENCUENTRA AL DIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doppelt 0 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I think I found a translation, when I did it word by word it says: business name: Dreamscapeanonymous companyno periods pendingthis estate dissolved by law 9024, up to date i guess that means I am paid up and they already dissolved my corporation and I dont have to pay to have it dissolved myself? thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
