See Your Costa Rica Tax Status—Fast & Free
Use Costa Rica’s OVi-TRIBU-CR portal to check your tax status—fast and free. Our step-by-step guide helps expats and retirees confirm they’re “al día” with Hacienda and save a PDF for banks or residency.
A New Way to Stay in Good Standing
If you live in Costa Rica, even part-time, it’s important to know whether you’re “in good standing” with the tax office—known here as the Ministerio de Hacienda.
Until now, most people used the older ATV website or had to visit a tax office. But Costa Rica is moving to a modern digital system: the OVi-TRIBU-CR portal under the upcoming TRIBU-CR platform.
No password or account required—just your ID number.
Note: Because the tax administration is migrating to TRIBU-CR, some system updates or data freezes may occur during the transition.
Why It Matters
Your “tax status” report shows whether you’re up to date (al día) or missing something. It matters because:
- You may need it to renew residency, open a bank account, or buy property.
- Banks and government offices often ask for proof you’re current with Hacienda.
- If you rent property or own a small business, staying compliant avoids unexpected fines or delays.
