In Costa Rica, the term "gringo tax" is an informal way of describing the practice of charging higher prices to foreigners, especially those from North America or Europe. This can occur in various situations, from markets and taxis to real estate transactions (and lawyers too). While it’s not a formal tax, it often stems from the perception that foreigners may be less familiar with local pricing or have a higher capacity to pay. We are committed to protecting our clients from such practices, ensuring fairness and transparency in every transaction with priorly quoted services and clarity. With our local expertise and tailored legal solutions, we help you navigate Costa Rican law confidently and avoid unnecessary costs.
