Again, ask your tax advisor for details. Costa Rica has enjoyed more than a century of democracy and peace. It is the oldest democracy in all of Latin America. The president, two vice presidents, and the legislators are all elected to four-year terms in free, direct popular elections. Each president can serve only one four-year term.
Candidates run for office in a multi-party political system and no single party dominates.
Costa Rica has enjoyed this long-standing stability for several reasons. No part of the Costa Rican population has ever been subjugated, so there is no class division, no resentment. There is a large, strong, active middle class, and prosperous individuals, including foreigners, are respected for their hard work and success. Also, Costa Rica has dedicated its resources to education. There is no army here, and there are more teachers than policemen.
