Why Puerto Rico Act 60 Residency
Puerto Rico's Act 60 (formerly Acts 20 & 22) offers U.S. citizens an extraordinary opportunity: legally pay 0% on capital gains and only 4% corporate tax on export services — all while remaining a U.S. citizen with access to U.S. banking and legal systems.
Who This Is For
- U.S. citizens with significant investment income or capital gains
- Online business owners who can serve clients remotely
- Crypto investors looking to minimize capital gains exposure
- Entrepreneurs who want tax efficiency without leaving U.S. jurisdiction
Requirements
To qualify, you must become a bona fide resident of Puerto Rico (183-day presence test), purchase real property within 2 years, make a $10,000 annual charitable donation, and file a Puerto Rico tax return. The Jerz Group manages the entire process from decree application through ongoing compliance.
