In Costa Rica, any work materials purchased by operators of rural aqueducts are now free from taxes.
The new law "Removal of Taxes for Asadas" (Association Administering a Rural Aqueduct), was signed yesterday by President Oscar Arias.
Elfinancierocr.com published comments by Ricardo Sancho, executive from AyA, the state owned operator of aqueducts and sewers: "We have been working on this since May, and we have finally achieved our objective of exonerating Asadas from paying taxes for their working materials".
