Experience

Carolina has led the Tax Department in Arias since 2001. Carolina has over twenty-two years advising on complex tax matters. One of its strengths is helping foreign clients establish effective tax structures that minimize risk and comply with corporate tax compliance requirements for their operations in Costa Rica. This has set Arias apart from other local companies that offer more aggressive tax advice. It also assists multinational clients based in Costa Rica to coordinate their tax efforts in Central America and the Caribbean.

Carolina has a solid track record in local and regional tax advice for local and international companies, tax planning, due diligence projects, tax compliance and transfer pricing services, providing clients with accurate assistance in local tax obligations.

Carolina is a very active partner within the firm, always encouraging the introduction of new products that provide clients with comprehensive advice, fostering the integration of tax services with other practice areas, including customs, corporate services and finance. In 2016, Carolina developed the Costa Rican Chapter on Transfer Pricing Regulation for the IBFD, thus offering information and education on international taxes.
