Where Can U.S. Citizens Move to Eliminate Capital Gains Taxes?

Relocating to Puerto Rico offers unparalleled tax benefits. Qualified individuals can pay zero federal and Puerto Rico taxes on short- and long-term capital gains, while eligible businesses enjoy a 4% corporate tax rate and no tax on dividends. These unique incentives are unmatched anywhere else in the United States

Why Puerto Rico Over Other Low-Tax Destinations Like Dubai or Singapore?

As a U.S. citizen, your worldwide income is subject to U.S. taxation, regardless of where you live. This means that if you move to places like Dubai or Singapore, you would first pay taxes to the local government and then be required to pay additional U.S. taxes on your global income.

Puerto Rico is the only place where U.S. citizens can live and enjoy significantly lower tax rates without paying U.S. taxes on worldwide income.

Why Does Puerto Rico Have Such Low Tax Rates?

Puerto Rico, as a U.S. territory, is not represented in Congress and residents cannot vote in presidential elections. Due to this lack of representation, the U.S. government cannot impose federal income taxes on Puerto Ricans.

Instead, Puerto Rico has its own tax system, Hacienda. As a U.S. citizen and bona fide resident of Puerto Rico, you can legally benefit from Act 60 incentives, including zero capital gains taxes and a 4% corporate tax rate.

How Long Have These Tax Savings Been in Place?

In 2012, the Puerto Rican government passed new individual and business tax laws to attract investors and business owners, stimulate the economy, and create jobs. After Hurricane Maria in 2017, Puerto Rico enhanced these tax incentives even further, leading to what is now known as Act 60.

These incentives continue to make Puerto Rico one of the most attractive tax havens for U.S. citizens.
