Leverage Puerto Rico's Act 60 Tax Incentives

Act 60 Is An Amazing Economic Development Program

The Puerto Rico Department of Economic Development & Commerce offers various tax incentives to attract, retain and expand businesses in their community - including most notably Act 60 for Export Services (formerly Act 20) and Act 60 for Individual Investors (formerly Act 22). These comprehensive incentives allow you to take control of your income taxes and significantly improve your profits.

  • Act 60 is designed with the stated goal to stimulate the inbound transfer of foreign businesses and investment to Puerto Rico.
  • These Puerto Rico tax incentives have successfully helped to establish Puerto Rico as an international Export Services hub to meet that goal.
  • Since 2012 over 4,500 individuals and businesses have relocated their homes or businesses to Puerto Rico and have created over 36,000 direct and indirect jobs paying nearly twice the average household income.

I approached Edgar with a desire to own my Act 20 (previous to Act 60) in my 401(k). When everyone else said it couldn't be done, Edgar and his team worked through all the legal and ERISA issues and created the first ever ROBS Act 20 in Puerto Rico. Now my tax exempt dividends flow up to my Roth 401(k) and build my retirement. I couldn't be happier with his creativity, efforts, and great service!

What our Clients Say

Sam S.

Social Media Marketing

If you are considering moving to Puerto Rico for Act 60, you would be crazy to use anyone other than Act 60 Solutions. I spoke with over 5 different lawyers and tax professionals and Edgar blew them all out of the water. He was the first person I spoke with that could explain things to me in a truly comprehensible way. Once I hired them,  they offered a truly white glove experience. If someone I loved wanted to file for Act 60, I would absolutely insist they use Act 60 Solutions

Dan R.

Digital Marketing

I was running into a wall with my mainland advisors regarding retirement planning for my new Act 60 company.  Edgar reviewed my situation and immediately helped me avoid a very costly mistake! He then handled all the compliance and administrative set up of a 401(k) Plan for my company, and we were able to leverage his ROBS strategy to create Roth retirement savings that I never dreamed was possible! Edgar and his team far exceeded my expectations! 

Elijah C.

Software Engineer

Edgar is a great listener and took the time to understand my requirements. He's very knowledgeable about the minutiae of Act 60 and Pub 570. He’s humble; any time he doesn’t know the answer, he takes the time to do thorough research to be certain. Edgar and his team have been incredibly responsive during the entire application process. I’ll continue to send all of my Puerto Rico bound friends to him!
