*IMPORTANT NOTE:
IVA tax (12%) charged for accommodation services can be claimed back by foreigners when presenting the invoice (s) for $50 dollars or more, as per government decree from May/28/2010. However, there is still no confirmation of how this process will work or where foreigners can claim back the tax. We await for further notice.
