The Ministerio de Hacienda de Costa Rica has issued a series of announcements on its official Twitter account regarding customs and tax compliance procedures. The posts, published between January 8 and 9, 2026, provide information to transport operators and taxpayers about upcoming requirements and educational events.
On January 8, the ministry shared guidance from the Secretaría de Integración Económica Centroamericana (SIECA) for international freight drivers. According to the tweet: “Compartimos información emitida por la Secretaría de Integración Económica Centroamericana (SIECA) sobre el registro previo que deben realizar los conductores para generar y transmitir la DUCA-T en operaciones de tránsito aduanero internacional. https://t.co/MZuPJhjgg9” (January 8, 2026). This communication refers to the need for prior registration by drivers who must generate and transmit the DUCA-T document for international customs transit operations.
Later that day, the ministry announced a virtual talk aimed at helping taxpayers file their monthly summary declarations concerning clients, suppliers, and specific expenses not covered by electronic invoices. The post states: “Charla virtual: Declaremos juntos: Presentación de la Declaración Resumen Mensual de Clientes, Proveedores y Gastos Específicos que no estén amparados en un comprobante electrónico Para participar ingrese el día del evento al siguiente enlace: https://t.co/92MBfhwC3D https://t.co/M1R8KuI9D5” (January 8, 2026).
On January 9, another online session was announced to guide participants on handling Value Added Tax (IVA) using proportionality rules in the year 2025. The ministry wrote: “Charla Virtual: Declaramos Juntos: Impuesto al Valor Agregado (IVA) cuando se usa la proporcionalidad en 2025 Para participar ingrese el día del evento en el siguiente enlace: https://t.co/Qg5scyJwFw https://t.co/epTbE7iJUa” (January 9, 2026).
