This proposal, led by Congressman Alejandro Jos\u00e9 Pacheco Castro and other legislators, responds to the need to reactivate the public infrastructure sector through tax relief for trusts dedicated to these projects.This project arises in view of the stagnation in the development of public works in Costa Rica, a problem evidenced by statistics from the Central Bank and the Costa Rican Chamber of Construction, which highlight a significant slowdown in this sector since 2017. The initiative seeks to alleviate the tax burden for trusts, allowing them to optimize resources and reduce the costs of projects financed with public funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exemptions and non-taxation will be applied retroactively from the effective date of the Law for the Strengthening of Public Finances, guaranteeing immediate tax benefits and allowing the financial restructuring of already constituted trusts.<\/p>\n<style>\r\n.lwrp.link-whisper-related-posts{\r\n            \r\n            margin-top: 40px;\nmargin-bottom: 30px;\r\n        }\r\n        .lwrp .lwrp-title{\r\n
