Strategic Guidance in Puerto Rico Tax Planning, Compliance, and Controversies
Our Tax Practice Group represents corporate clients in all aspects of Puerto Rico taxation, including income tax, sales and use tax (SUT), property tax, excise tax, municipal taxes, and tax credits. We provide strategic tax planning for companies entering the Puerto Rico market and advise on the tax implications of complex transactions, including mergers, reorganizations, and liquidations.
Comprehensive Experience in Puerto Rico Tax Law
Our attorneys have deep experience with the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, municipal tax frameworks, and the Puerto Rico Incentives Code (Act 60), including its predecessors, Act 20 (Export Services Act) and Act 22 (Individual Investors Act). We advise clients on qualification, compliance, and ongoing benefits under these tax incentive programs, helping businesses and individual investors maximize the available tax advantages.
We also represent clients in audits, investigations, and disputes before the Puerto Rico Treasury Department, and assist in securing tax rulings, administrative determinations, and closing agreements that support long-term business goals.

From structuring tax-efficient investments to managing post-closing compliance, we help clients mitigate risk and align their tax positions with evolving legal requirements. Members of our team have participated in drafting key Puerto Rico tax statutes, offering clients firsthand insight into legislative intent and regulatory trends.
Clients rely on our Tax Practice Group for practical, forward-thinking solutions that support growth, compliance, and long-term success in Puerto Rico.
