Manitoba premier fails to have Costa Rica vacation home reassessed

Manitoba’s premier has failed to reassess the value of his tropical vacation home for the past decade, contravening Costa Rican property tax rules and adding more questions as to whether he owes unpaid taxes to the government.

Pallister told the Free Press that he has never been informed by any Costa Rican official that his property meets the threshold to qualify for the luxury tax.
