  • One of the best parts of Puerto Rico’s R&D tax credit program is that it s companies at any stage (even those that haven’t started generating revenue yet). Unlike R&D credits in the mainland U.S., which reduce taxes owed, Puerto Rico’s program lets you monetize your credits. That means companies performing R&D at any growth stage can turn them into non-dilutive capital. Here’s why this is helpful for startups and innovation-focused companies: → The credits can be sold to other businesses or individuals with Puerto Rico tax obligations → There’s already a robust private market where these credits are bought and sold → The proceeds from the sale of R&D tax credits are tax-exempt To be eligible, R&D work must: → Aim to develop products, processes, or software of commercial value → Address problems that cannot be solved without scientific experimentation Where every dollar matters, startups can stretch their capital further in Puerto Rico. Additionally, mature local businesses and multinational companies that rely on innovation in their business models can invest in R&D projects earlier and more aggressively, leveraging this significant source of funding to propel Puerto Rico forward.

  • We’re at a moment where Puerto Rico’s strengths line up well with what’s changing globally,” said Secretary Sebastián Negrón Reichard from the Department of Economic Development & Commerce. In a recent interview, the Secretary shared how Puerto Rico is preparing for the growing trend of U.S. companies moving operations back home: → Executive Order 2025-012 created a coordinated plan for bringing business back → Over 800 economic projects have been listed—350 already approved → 5,500 more single-use permits approved this year (Jan–Apr) compared to last → A new service is being developed to help companies set up operations → A talent fund is being created using federal money to train local workers When speaking about pharmaceuticals and medical tools, Secretary Negrón Reichard stressed Puerto Rico’s key role: “We’re an important part of the U.S. supply chain. A lot of critical medicines and devices are made right here, helping meet U.S. needs and keeping the country secure." The government is also focused on making it easier to do business here → by improving permits, training workers, updating rules, and working on energy supply. These moves are shaping Puerto Rico’s place in the changing world of manufacturing and helping the island play a bigger role in U.S. production plans.

  • The global blockchain and crypto industry is still working through tricky rules, but Puerto Rico stands out with clear policies and practical benefits. Thanks to Act 60, crypto businesses based in Puerto Rico can: → Pay lower taxes on income from services sold outside the island → Get special tax treatment for capital gains on certain crypto assets → Stay in line with U.S. regulations while getting local tax savings → Keep access to the U.S. banking system, which solves a big issue for many crypto companies On top of this, the island has a growing group of blockchain founders, legal experts, and tech workers. Together, they’ve built a helpful network that makes it easier for companies to get started and grow. With long-term tax agreements and a stable financial system, Puerto Rico is a smart option to consider when deciding where to base a digital asset business.

    We recently attended the 3rd Intellectual Property Colloquium, held to mark 30 years of the Patent and Trademark Resource Center (PTRC) at the University of Puerto Rico – Mayagüez Campus. Our team , Keishla Tirado, PhD, and Amanda M. Castillo Casiano, Esq., took part in the event, which brought together people from different parts of the intellectual property space. The main message was clear: Strong IP protection is a key part of helping businesses grow through innovation in Puerto Rico. For companies doing research or looking to expand on the island, it's important to understand how federal IP rules and local business programs work together. The PTRC plays a helpful role by giving businesses the they need to handle patent and trademark matters, making it easier to protect their ideas and products. Some of the top takeaways from the event were: → Tips for protecting IP within Puerto Rico’s business setting → Updates on U.S. patent and trademark laws → Smart ways to handle IP across different countries Thanks to the PTRC team for putting together a well-run event. We look forward to staying part of the ongoing talks about how IP s Puerto Rico’s growth.

    U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports have jumped to 145%, with China responding with 125% tariffs on American goods. In this tense and uncertain environment, Puerto Rico is stepping up with policy reforms to ease the pressure on businesses operating on the island. Here’s one of the most important developments: House Bill 420 is advancing in the Puerto Rico Legislature. It proposes a five-year pause on the inventory tax, a long-standing challenge for companies trying to maintain adequate stock, especially in the pharmaceutical, medical device, and food sectors. This tax became especially burdensome during emergencies, when holding inventory could mean the difference between readiness and disruption. Luis Eduardo Pizarro-Otero, Esq. LL.M., President of the Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce(Camara de Comercio de Puerto Rico), noted that while a temporary pause is a helpful step, the Chamber will continue to advocate for full elimination, either through a fixed end date or permanent repeal after five years. (Luis has personally visited us and remains a valued er. It may be worth tagging him and the Chamber when this is published.) This reform arrives at a critical time: → U.S. tariffs have surged from under 3% to around 20% → Unpredictable global rules are making planning harder → Companies relying on Chinese materials are struggling to manage costs To businesses further, Puerto Rico is exploring additional relief measures, including: → Speeding up the permit approval process → Possibly removing port container inspection fees If your business operates in a global supply chain, these policy shifts are worth watching. *** Puerto Rico’s proactive stance may offer valuable lessons in how to stay resilient in a world of rising trade costs and regulatory volatility.
