This past Wednesday January 29^th 2020, the costarrican Congress approved a moratorium of 2 months to waive the fine for those who fail to file the Declaration of Ultimate Beneficiary Ownership (UBO) for period 2019.

Additionally, it was also agreed that if the Declaration of Ultimate Beneficiary Ownership is not filed within those 2 months, from the third month onwards a sanction of 50% will apply. In case you fail to file such declaration after the abovementioned third month, the total sanction previously established will apply.
