Greetings to all,
I hope that everyone is having a
good year. As the New HOA president of the San Juanillo Estates, I would
like to invite all developers and lots owners to our annual meeting this coming
Sat. at 1 PM eastern standard time. These meetings have been very helpful
in the past, so I urge you to take a moment and involve yourself in what will
prove to be a very informative session.
Our little development is going
through an exciting time right now, as we begin transitioning from a mere dream
to a thriving community. We now have 4 homes on the property with 2
permanent residents, along with our house on Lot 19 which has been very
successful in renting while we are not personally enjoying the house on
vacation.
Please see the information below
for the call in number as well as the agenda for the meeting. In
addition, I will be sending out several supplements for you to review before
and during the meeting as we discuss, the new ASADA, Caretaker’s duties, and
Budget for 2014. I will be sending these out to you over the next few
days.
*****Finally, please read
closely the wording in red on the agenda below. We will be covering this
at the meeting, but the sooner you deal with your corporate taxes the better
for you.******
I look forward to meeting with
everyone on Sat. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with any
questions or concerns that you might have.
Sincerely,
Mike Cothran

8. Corporate Taxes and options.
a.
For all owners of Costa
Rica corporations (yes, this is you). There is a yearly corporate fee
charged to keep all foreign corporations current in status. If these
corporate taxes are not paid after 3 years time, then the government of
Costa Rica, reserves the right to absorb these Corporations. This means,
that you could potentially lose your investments! The corporate
tax is due by March 31st of this year. If you have been paying
this tax, then please disregard this alert. However, if you have not
paid, be aware that this tax must be paid regardless of whether or not your
corporation is active.
The yearly cost is around
$200. There are also fees and penalties for years that have not been
paid.
Monique Munro, Bob M’s wife
has graciously agreed to pay these taxes for you when they return to Costa Rica
next week for a one time fee of $70. This is cheap and is recommended
since Bob and Monique already have everyone’s corporation information.
Otherwise, Ricardo who has
acted as the development’s lawyer can also do this service for you. I
have contacted him to find out what his charges are, but he has not gotten back
to me so I do not know what his fees would be yet.
