Frequently Asked Questions

Does having an old Act 22 decree protect me from an IRS audit?

No. While your decree may be grandfathered, you are still subject to IRS scrutiny. The IRS is actively auditing taxpayers who claim benefits under Puerto Rico's tax incentives, regardless of the decree date.

What is IRS Campaign 685?

Campaign 685 is a targeted IRS initiative to examine compliance among individuals and businesses claiming benefits under Act 60 and its predecessor acts. It involves increased audits and information sharing between the IRS and the Puerto Rico Treasury Department (Hacienda).

How can I prepare for a potential Act 60 audit?

The best defense is a good offense. This includes meticulous record-keeping, a thorough understanding of your decree's requirements, and a proactive review of your tax position to identify and remediate any potential weaknesses. Act 60 Shield is designed to assist in this process.
