· The resolution modifies the requirements for verifying that the transportation services of goods destined for export to their final destination qualify for a VAT exemption.
0n 23 February 2023, the Costa Rican Tax Authority published resolution N° MH-DGT-RES-0001-2023, which amends resolution N° DGT-R-36-2021, regarding operations related to exports exempt from the Value Added Tax (VAT).
The resolution amends Article 1, Subparagraph e), to consider the transportation services of goods destined for export to their final destination linked to exports and consequently exempt from VAT, provided that this operation is supported through a Single Customs Declaration (in Spanish "Declaración Única Aduanera" – DUA).
Previously, the resolution required supporting the operation with an export invoice that included the exporter code.
The Resolution entered into force on 23 February 2023, the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
