Act 60 Grant Compliance

Tax Exemption Grant Maintenance in Puerto Rico

For Individuals and Entities Holding a Tax Grant

Already have an Act 60 tax exemption grant? If you need help with annual filings or maintaining Act 60 grant compliance, schedule a document review.

For Entities and Individuals

A tax exemption grant under Puerto Rico’s Act 60-2019 provides significant long-term tax advantages, but only if you remain in full compliance. Maintaining your tax grant requires annual filings, reports, declarations, and proof of compliance submitted to Puerto Rico’s Department of Economic Development and Commerce (DDEC).

Failure to meet these obligations may result in penalties or revocation of your decree. Our firm provides comprehensive Act 60 compliance services to ensure your grant remains active and in good standing. If you have not yet obtained a tax exemption grant and are looking to apply, schedule a document review.

What Is Act 60 Grant Compliance?

Compliance with your Act 60 tax decree involves periodic and annual requirements that vary depending on the type of grant, whether for an export services business, an individual investor, or other incentive category. Common compliance items include:

  • Annual Reports to DDEC

  • Sworn Statements and Oaths

  • Evidence of Residency (for individuals)

  • Business Activity Reports

  • Compliance Fees

  • CPA-prepared financial statements (when applicable)

  • Donation proof (for individual investors)

  • Any additional filings required by DDEC or Hacienda

Why Is Ongoing Compliance Important?

Your Act 60 decree offers:

  • A 4% corporate tax rate (or less for some businesses)

  • 100% exemption on dividends and capital gains

  • 75–100% property and municipal tax exemptions

But these benefits are conditional. Annual noncompliance may jeopardize your grant status and financial advantages.

If you’re unsure about your status or obligations, we offer a full compliance review as well as the annual filing service.
