IMPORTANT: 51 days left to apply for 0% under Act 60 (Resident Investor deadline Dec 31, 2026)
As of today, November 10, 2026, there are 51 days left to file a Resident Investor application under the current 0% treatment. What changed: Act 38-2026 amends Act 60-2019 (the Puerto Rico Incentives Code). Under the amendment, Resident Investor applications filed with DDEC on or before December 31, 2026 are generally described as keeping the current 0% treatment on qualifying Puerto Rico-source passive income, such as interest, dividends and capital gains accrued after residency. Applications filed from January 1, 2027 fall under a new 4% regime, and the program runs through 2055. What this means for you: - This is the closing window for the 0% income tax treatment for Resident Investors under Act 60. - The filing date with DDEC is what counts, not your move date. A complete application in the DDEC Incentives Portal is what has to be in by December 31. - A strong application takes time: background check, supporting documents, residency facts and the housing plan. Waiting until late December leaves little room for agency or holiday delays. - Benefits generally apply to qualifying income only after bona fide Puerto Rico residency is established under the federal rules (IRS Publication 570). Gains built up before the move follow special rules. - Export Services is a separate chapter at a 2% to 4% rate. It is not a substitute for this window. What to do now: 1. Decide whether Resident Investor fits your situation. 2. Start your document package now, beginning with the US federal or state background check, which is required for the application. 3. Work through the Act 60 Blueprint and Explore Your Options sections in the Classroom. Executive Services PR is a boutique firm of attorneys, auditors, tax professionals, CPAs and project managers who manage the whole application for you, from structuring and documents to the DDEC filing and the compliance that follows. Talk to an advisor at Executive Services PR before the window closes. Your introductory call is free: https://discovery.executiveservicespr.com/

Whether you are exploring a move to the island, scaling an export services business, expanding a manufacturing or R&D operation, or managing an existing Act 60 decree, we built this space to share practical, up-to-date guidance on how Puerto Rico actually works on the ground. Puerto Rico offers what few U.S. jurisdictions can: Act 60 decrees with a 2% to 4% income tax rate for qualifying export services businesses, R&D tax credits of up to 50% on eligible investment, Resident Investor incentives (with the 0% capital gains rate deadline for applications on December 31, 2026), and the protections of U.S. law. The opportunity is real—and execution and ongoing compliance are where having the right team matters most. Here is how to get the most out of this community right away: 1. Introduce yourself in the comments below: • Where are you currently based (or where on the island did you land)? • What brings you to Puerto Rico (investing, running a business, industrial/R&D expansion, or already holding a decree)? • What is your #1 question right now about relocating, Act 60, or compliance? 2.

Tyler Perry bought in Dorado Beach. He is not retiring.
The headline version of this story has gotten ahead of the facts, so here is what is actually on the record. In mid-September, Tyler Perry told TODAY he planned to move to Puerto Rico “at the top of the year” and was “pulling back a whole lot,” so he could spend more time with his son. That is a slowdown, not a retirement announcement. On October 14, a company linked to him, ETPC Dorado, LLC, closed on a house in Dorado Beach Estates. El Nuevo Día reviewed the property registry and reported a $25 million purchase price for the 14,475-square-foot home. Some U.S. outlets, citing TMZ, reported a figure closer to $30 million. We are using the registry number. The same property sold for $40 million in 2022. TMZ has also reported, and El Nuevo Día repeated, that he may open a production office and film in Puerto Rico while keeping his Atlanta studio open. Perry himself has not been quoted confirming that office in the coverage we reviewed, so we are leaving it as a reported plan. What he did say, on November 9 in Atlanta, is clearer. He told WSB-TV the studio stays in Georgia, he will be “working out of Puerto Rico for a while,” and “Georgia’s still gonna always be home even though I’ll be living there full-time for a while.” For this community, the useful point is not celebrity gossip. High-profile relocations continue to land in Dorado, and they usually come with a more complicated residency and work picture than a headline can hold. 💬 If you were advising a public figure moving here, what would you want them to understand first — the difference between buying a home and becoming a bona fide resident, or the difference between living here and running a business here?

A quiet DDEC notice today: most 2025 annual reports are due Monday
DDEC published Informative Bulletin 2026-009 today, November 12. If your 2025 exempt-business annual report (IANE) was due November 15, that date falls on a Sunday, so a complete filing through the Incentives Portal on Monday, November 16, is still considered on time. That is the rule for most decree holders, including Individual Resident Investors on a calendar year. It is not a general extension for everyone. The Office of Incentives gave a longer deadline, December 31, 2026, only to Researchers and Scientists and to Private Equity Funds, because those updated forms were posted on November 9. If your decree or tax year sets a later date, that later date still controls. The bulletin is also a warning. DDEC says a late or incomplete annual report can be a default under the decree and can lead to administrative sanctions. Filing fees are due at the time of filing. If you already hold a decree, treat Monday as a hard date unless your decree says otherwise. If you are still applying, this is a useful reminder that compliance is part of life on the island, not an afterthought. This is not tax or legal advice. Confirm your deadline and required attachments with your advisor and, if needed, with the Office of Incentives. 💬 If you have filed an IANE before, what part of the process slowed you down the most — documents, the donation or contribution, or the portal itself? Sources: DDEC Informative Bulletin 2026-009, Nov. 12, 2026: https://docs.pr.gov/files/DDEC/Aviso%20Pu%CC%81blico/BOL.%20INFORMATIVO%20DDEC%20N%C3%9AM.%202026-009%20NOV%202026.pdf Questions about staying compliant after you move?

Act 38-2026 and the Dec 31, 2026 Resident Investor window
This is one date worth putting on the calendar now. Under Act 38-2026, an Act 60 Resident Investor incentive application filed with DDEC by December 31, 2026 is generally described as keeping the current 0% treatment. Applications filed from January 1, 2027 fall under a 4% rate. The filing date, not the move date, is what people should watch. That is general education, not a guarantee and not advice for any one situation. Eligibility, timing, and the rate that actually applies depend on the facts of the application, the decree, and current DDEC practice. Benefits, when they apply, generally attach to qualifying income after bona fide Puerto Rico residency is established under the federal rules, including the tests in IRS Publication 570. Income earned before a move, and special rules on built-in gains, can work very differently. If Resident Investor is even on your list, the practical move is to start the package early: residency facts, the housing plan, supporting documents, and a clean filing in the DDEC Incentives Portal, rather than trying to assemble everything in late December. Export Services is a separate chapter with its own rates and is not a substitute for this window. For a walkthrough of the rules and the sequence, see the Classroom. To talk through whether this window matters in your case, talk to an advisor at Executive Services PR: https://discovery.executiveservicespr.com/
