Strengthen Your Act 60 Compliance Against Audits

When facing an audit from Hacienda or the IRS, the first point of attack will be your income sourcing. As a financial advisor, you must be prepared to rigorously defend that your service income, particularly from AUM fees, is legitimately earned in Puerto Rico. A weak defense here can cause your entire Act 60 structure to crumble. Relying on basic tax preparation is not enough; you need a strategy built for scrutiny. Act60shield.com is designed for this purpose. Our review goes beyond simple compliance checks and focuses on building a defensible position. We analyze your operational footprint, documentation, and intercompany agreements through the lens of an auditor. This process may help identify the very weaknesses an examiner would exploit, giving you the opportunity to fortify them before you ever receive a notice. We help you prepare for the fight.

The IRS has publicly announced its focus on Act 60 decree holders through Campaign 685, signaling a new era of enforcement. A key target of this campaign is improper income allocation, especially for service providers. For financial advisors, this means your transfer pricing between a Puerto Rico entity and any U.S. operations will be under a microscope. You must be prepared to prove that your Puerto Rico business is not just a shell but a center of genuine economic activity. Our service is built for those who take this threat seriously. We stress-test your transfer pricing policy against the standards auditors are trained to use, referencing guidance from sources like the DDEC Performance Evaluation and IRC regulations. This isn't just about compliance; it's about creating a robust defense strategy. We help you assemble the evidence needed to demonstrate substance and defend the value created by your Puerto Rico operations.
