Invoicing in Puerto Rico — What Businesses Typically Include
The information below is a general overview of common invoicing practice in Puerto Rico. It is not legal or tax advice — for guidance specific to your business, consult an accountant or refer to the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury (Hacienda) at hacienda.pr.gov.
Sales Tax in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico levies an IVU (Impuesto sobre Ventas y Uso) of 10.5% at the commonwealth level, with municipalities adding 1%, bringing the typical combined rate to 11.5% — one of the highest in US territories and states. The IVU applies to tangible goods and most services, including many professional services. This is a key difference from most US states where professional services are not taxed.
Business Structures in Puerto Rico
Businesses in Puerto Rico register with the Puerto Rico Department of State. The island's corporate structure includes corporations, LLCs (known locally as Sociedades de Responsabilidad Limitada), and partnerships. Puerto Rico's Act 60 business and investor programmes have attracted significant tech entrepreneurs and financial professionals to the island.
State Income Tax in Puerto Rico
Puerto Rico has its own tax system separate from US states, with graduated income tax rates up to 33%. However, Puerto Rico is well known for its Act 60 tax incentive programmes (formerly Acts 20 and 22), which can offer significantly reduced tax rates for eligible businesses and individual investors who relocate to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico residents are generally not subject to US federal income tax on Puerto Rico-sourced income, though they do pay Social Security and Medicare taxes.
The Puerto Rico Business Economy
Puerto Rico has attracted a growing community of US mainland entrepreneurs, tech professionals, and freelancers seeking to take advantage of Act 60 tax incentives while remaining in a US jurisdiction. San Juan in particular has a growing startup and creative economy. Puerto Rican freelancers also commonly work with clients across the US mainland and invoice in USD.
