Just for info, (and although I do not know the procedures in other Spanish-speaking jurisdictions) in Spain taxation/assessment of costs is not carried out by a taxing master, but rather is one of the duties of the clerks of court ("secretarios judiciales"):

TASACIÓN DE COSTAS-Es el procedimiento por el que se determina la cuantía de las costas procesales. Se lleva a cabo por el secretario del órgano jurisdiccional que haya actuado en el pleito. Hecha y presentada la tasación, se da vista a las partes, empezando por la condenada a su pago. Cabe la impugnación de costas: por considerarse excesivos los honorarios de los letrados o peritos, o por incluir partidas indebidas. Resuelta la impugnación, queda abierta la vía de apremio o exacción de las costas, y previa su tasación, cuando la parte condenada no las hubiese satisfecho antes de que la contraria solicite dicha tasación.
