Monthly statement · for owners of short-term rentals in Costa Rica
One rental. Two tax countries.
If you rent a home in Costa Rica on Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking, Hacienda, Costa Rica’s tax authority, expects an IVA return (Costa Rica’s VAT) every month. We prepare it from your bookings, your accountant reviews and files it, and you get a clean summary for your tax preparer back home.

Every month
Airbnb does not file your IVA.
Airbnb charges IVA on its own service fee, not on your rental income. Your return is still yours, due on the 15th.

PUNTO YA CR Hosts
We match bookings to payouts, calculate the IVA and prepare the monthly package.
Well before the 15th
Your accountant
Reviews and files in Tribu-CR. No accountant yet? We connect you with one who already works this way.
Before the 15th
We also keep watch.
Every week we check what is public: whether Hacienda lists you as up to date, and when your municipal taxes are due. If something changes, you hear from us first.
Your accountant stays. We take the hours of sorting; they keep the judgment and the filing, including which income-tax regime fits you.

Questions owners ask
- Do I still need an accountant?
- We recommend one. We prepare everything; an accountant reviews and files: yours, or one we introduce you to. You can also file yourself.
- Is this tax advice?
- No. We organize and calculate. Decisions stay with your accountant.
- Which income-tax regime applies to me?
- Your accountant decides. We prepare the numbers either way.
- Do you need my Hacienda password?
- No. You or your accountant file from your own account.
- Which exchange rate do you use?
- The Banco Central de Costa Rica reference rate by default. You or your accountant can change it, with a reason, and every change is recorded.
- What data do you keep?
- Only the dates and amounts the calculation needs. Not your guests' names or phone numbers.
