Meridian Tax & Accounting CR
Tamarindo, Guanacaste ★★★★★4.9 (21 client reviews)
Corporate compliance, rental taxes, and cross-border coordination for foreign owners.
View Area On MapOverview
Meridian handles the accounting reality of owning here: corporate annual filings, the shareholder registry (RTBF), corporate and luxury-home taxes, and — for owners who rent — VAT registration and income tax done properly from day one.
Their cross-border desk coordinates with your CPA at home so Costa Rican activity lands correctly in US or Canadian returns. Fixed annual packages, proactive deadline tracking, and no surprises in March.
Why We Recommend Them
Most accounting problems we see were created in year one — unregistered rentals, missed corporate filings, structures nobody maintained. Meridian sets owners up correctly from the start and then simply keeps them compliant, year after year.

What Others Say
They cleaned up two years of missed filings from before we found them, then put everything on autopilot.
My CPA in Denver loves them. The year-end package arrives complete, every January.
Registered our rental properly from day one. Sleeping well is underrated.
Things To Know
What taxes does my corporation owe even if it just holds the house?
An annual corporate tax, the shareholder registry declaration, plus municipal property tax — and the solidarity (luxury-home) tax above the threshold. Their package covers the filings end-to-end.
I rent my home on Airbnb. What applies?
Short-term rentals owe 13% VAT plus income tax on net rental profit, with registration required. Set up correctly, it's routine; discovered late, it's expensive.
Will this complicate my US taxes?
US owners report worldwide income regardless. Meridian produces the figures and works directly with your CPA so nothing is double-counted or missed.
What does annual compliance cost?
Standard single-property corporate packages are a fixed annual fee — quoted up front. Rental accounting scales with activity.
