TRIBU-CR — Integrated tax platform
Institution: Ministry of Finance
What it is
Tax platform live since October 2025 that replaces ATV and Travi. Pre-filled returns based on e-invoice data, automatic detection of fiscal credits, automatic refund processing, and online payments via SINPE Móvil.
Verified results
Integrates e-invoicing v4.4 with 140+ mandatory technical changes. Since September 2025 the Ministry tracks SINPE payments at merchants.
Context
The most ambitious tax modernization in the Costa Rican State in the past decade. Its value lies not in a standalone AI model but in the integration of SINPE infrastructure, e-invoicing v4.4 and Hacienda Digital analytics into a single platform.

Anti-fraud tax AI stack — Anomaly Detector + Atena
LiveTax anomaly detection stack run by the Ministry of Finance combining three components operational in 2026: (1) Microsoft Anomaly Detector, in production since 2024 over the v4.4 e-invoicing receipt flow, identifying companies issuing fake invoices with no real operations (EFOS) and taxpayers artificially inflating deductions via third-party invoices (EDOS); (2) integration with TRIBU-CR, the tax platform operational since October 2025 that centralizes pre-filled returns and automated refund processing; (3) Atena, an AI module focused on the self-employed segment to monitor tax compliance over transactional data already captured by e-invoicing. The combined stack covers both general invoicing and the self-employed segment.

Virtual assistant for taxpayers
LiveVirtual assistant integrated into the Ministry of Finance's Hacienda Digital platform, designed to guide taxpayers through key tax procedures: filing returns, processing payments, and managing foreign trade operations (imports and exports). Available to any taxpayer registered in the Costa Rican tax system, it operates as a self-service channel to reduce in-person and phone support demand. It is the only operational citizen-facing virtual assistant in the Costa Rican central government; no interaction volume metrics have been published.
