In this case, it must be filed and paid no later than January 15, 2026, to avoid surcharges and penalties.<\/p>\n<p>The calculation is made by progressive tranches, with rates ranging from 0.25% to 0.55%, depending on the value of the construction.<br \/>\nAlso, remember that the D-174 Affidavit is filed every three years, and 2025 started a new three-year period, so if you recently purchased a property, it is a good idea to validate whether you need to file before the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>Payment can be made online through OVi\/TRIBU-CR with IBAN account, or over the counter at BCR and BAC.<br \/>\nReview your situation on time and avoid problems with the IRS.<\/p>\n<p>This is a news service prepared by ICS.
