Ministry of Finance seizes vehicles incorrectly exempted from taxes |
|
 By AM Costa Rica staff
The Finance
Ministry seeks to recover more ¢100
million in taxes not paid on vehicles
that were incorrectly declared tax
free.
There are 28 vehicles involved, and their owners must pay to the treasury ¢107 million as a condition for recovery of the cars. At the time of this report, the ministry has already recovered ¢45 million. The vehicles that were exempted incorrectly were located thanks to a road control made by Fiscal Control Police. The Ministry said that there are vehicles in use that have not paid taxes due to incorrect registrations which allowed them to be exempted from taxes. The most recent highway operation was in the central Pacific, where 19 vehicles were found to be operating the incorrect tax exemption record. In the first lot of cars detained by officials, three cars had been declared tax exempt incorrectly and were seized immediately. Another one was being used by an unauthorized person, and one did not comply with the documents of exemption. The rest of the vehicles have been frozen and the drivers were ordered to avoid use of the vehicle until they normalize the situation at the ministry. On this subject, Juan Carlos Brenes, director of the Fiscal Incentives Division, assured the public that his office will continue verifying the use of exemptions in different parts of the country and called on the population to report any anomaly related to the use and destination of the exempt assets, as well as other irregular actions that affect the country's finances.

 At the time of this report, the ministry has already recovered ¢45 million.
"Verifications of the
use of exonerated goods will be
intensified in the country, as efforts
to reduce the breaches of fiscal non
payments."
In addition, the director invited people to make the reports on the ministry's website in the "Denuncia YA" application, indicating the motive of report and full information related on the specific complaint or report.

| Suspected drug dealers detained in Guanacaste | |
By A.M. Costa Rica
staff
Drug Control Police in San Cruz made
12 raids Monday in an effort to dismantle an
organization dedicated to the sale of
marijuana and cocaine in Playa Hermosa and
Playas del Coco in Guanacaste.
Nine people were arrested as suspected drug dealers but are also suspected of being linked to two homicides, said investigators. According to the investigation, the two homicides were motivated by a dispute over drug distribution and sale territories. The alleged leaders of the organization are two men, one named Navarro and another named Arias. These two individuals were not in the group of people arrested in the police operation as they are already in the Calle Real jail in preventive detention. That detention began Feb.3, for their suspected involvement in a kidnapping case. The police report indicates that the two men in jail gave instructions to a group of friends in Guanacaste. The people arrested by the police are named Vallejo, Pérez, Buchaman, Araya, Miranda, Ramírez and Campos. In total there were 9 people linked in this case. In the operation, marijuana, cocaine, weapons, a car and notebooks with notes allegedly related to criminal activity, were seized. According to the report, the presumed drug dealers transported the drugs from San José to Guanacaste.

My thoughts on the news about 427,000
Costa Rican children live in poverty |
|
Dear A.M. Costa Rica readers:
Isn't it time to peel
off the labels? Left, right and even
libertarian's with governmental
aspirations. They're all members of the
same collectivist union called the
State... and we're not allowed in that
club!

All students returned to school Monday
|
|
|
By
A.M. Costa Rica staff
All of the country's schools were opened Monday and were working on a normal schedule after heavy rains and landslides caused numerous closings. The Ministry of Public Education reported that there are no problems of access or flooding or use of the buildings as temporary shelters. The ministry said it is in constant communication with the principals of the schools to determine if there is a sudden change in security conditions that could endanger the students. In addition,
it said it is
coordinating with
teachers who are
expected to make
additional efforts to
recover the lessons that
were delayed by the
closures of schools.
