The bill is being sponsored by the Frente Amplio in the Costa Rican Legislative Assembly and has the support of MPs from different benches and even the Executive.

Under the reform, " information about the names of individuals and legal entities that have tax debts to the Treasury, and the amount of such debt will be publicly accessible," reported Nacion.com.

The proposed changes would give power to the tax authorities to publish the list of tax debtors with Treasury and the amounts owed.
