Thank you for this video. My business partner and I are thinking about making this move and this is the best video I've seen of people in our situation.
Act 22 (Act 60 Part 2) makes sense for retirees and/or HNIs. Once you make around $80-100k annually in dividends and capital gains, then the charitable donations and filing fees would be cheaper than the expected income tax liability.
The only way the people of Puerto Rico will approve and accept rich people in the island is that they invest on the local economy and make more job opportunities for the locals improving their quality of life.
Thank You for this video!! I suspected all the hype about moving to PR to save on capital gain taxes came with "hidden caveats", and this is exactly the information that I needed to hear. Still might consider doing it under Act 20, but also weighing the CRT option (for a portion of my portfolio) you discussed in another video :-) Great content!!
After my 183 days are up and I fly back to the states to my "vacation" home am I allowed to conduct business while I'm back? I have a remote real estate flipping business so I can operate it from anywhere but I'm concerned my income will be forced to come to a standstill when I'm not in Puerto Rico.
The us virgin islands..only pay federal taxes...they have a different tax code...and this is a local benefit from the Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 tax code ( you don't pay federal taxes in Puerto Rico )... you my have to make some homework..if you're looking for some especial tax benefits
Hey max just subscribed and liked the video. You mentioned that you just cant move to puerto rico and cash out the money because you are still subject to 15 percent . Would you still need to apply for the acts you mentioned to get the 15%
When you are calculating expenses you have if you move to PR,, to get into these programs,,,you ADD Social Security,, like if you don't have to pay SS when you live in the USA,,,
Tax free for investors while the island pays billions a year. _Puerto Rico residents pay more in federal income taxes every year than do residents of six U.S. states: "From 1998 up until 2006, when Puerto Rico was hit by its present economic recession, Puerto Rico _*_consistently_*_ paid more than $4 billion annually in federal taxes and impositions into the national fisc." This was more that the IRS collected from taxpayers in six States of the Union: Vermont, Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, and Alaska, as well as the Northern Mariana Islands.[17][18]_
Do you have an cpa you can refer that understands crypto and Act 20/22 etc. I’m getting passive income from Nodes and planning on moving to PR shortly.
bro- what are you talking about- i live here, im act 60- its a 10k donation and NOTHING to pay more. Nothing. zip. like you said. i sit on the beach and trade crypto and pay NOTHING
I was born and raised in Puerto Rico I spent 28 years in the United States 21 of them in the United States Army which I’m retired now with full benefits. I’ll make more money trading in the stock market so I’m really thinking about moving to Puerto Rico. I just need some help. With somebody that has done it already.
Act 20 and 22 are not applicable to the residents of PR. These were created to attract wealthy individuals from the US to invest in broke PR. It is a discriminatory legislation by desperate legislators seeking to attract $. PR has a 11.5% sales tax and quality of life is not comparable to most of the US. IRS investigating whether millionaires in the program actually live in PR as required.
Good and Dandy, but make sure you generate income of the people there, you know the ones that will do the laundry and shine your shoes. Also don't put up any private gates thinking that the beaches belong to you, or they will be taken down, and above all respect the people and their traditions, they don't really want strangers buying their houses and building hotels and sheet like that! 😅🤣😂They had enough of that already!
Are business owners the only ones that qualify for this program? Can a remote worker in a salaried position move to Puerto Rico and utilize these tax advantages?
I believe you can..but you better make sure you do your homework.. before you made a decision...( Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 has is own taxes rules and you don't pay federal taxes ) it is a us territory ( colony )...and all Puerto Rican are us citizens ( they don't need a passport to go to the Us )
Hey MAX love Your stuff! I wanted to let you know in case you didn't. AS Long as you have a SS number and are a citizen of the USA You have to PAY Taxes on any & all income earned Globally. It's a bunch a crap, but yet a USA Passport is the most wanted & Coveted of them all they say.. : /
The US has an agreement with Puerto Rico that bonafide residents of Puerto Rico are not taxed on Puerto Rican sourced income. So US citizens who become residents of Puerto Rico do not have to pay US taxes on qualified income. Otherwise there would be no reason to move to Puerto Rico and add additional taxes on top of what one is already paying to the US govt.
Thank you for the thorough breakdown. Do you have/you should have a separate channel about life in PR. From your roof, I know what area you live in. We have a home in the same neighborhood. Enjoy it. See you at the beach.
Do you not care what this is doing to the puerto rican people? The tax benefits will end up doing more harm than good, our own government is at fault for that and I won't deny it. Do you have any idea how it feels for our home, our beaches, our jungles to be for sale? FOR SALE. Public places. For the benefit of rich americans. Genuine question.
@@revertedrf978 With that logic, anyone who has or obtains a U.S. citizenship is an American. Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the U.S. - “Today, while Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens and subject to federal laws, those in the unincorporated territory are unable to vote in Presidential elections, and the unincorporated territory does not have a representative vote in Congress.” Additional to this we have our own anthem, a self-governing commonwealth in association with the United States, and of course a vast and beautiful culture with our own social norms, music, food etc. But of course, ignorant people will stay ignorant despite being educated. At the end of the day, if it comforts you to call Puerto Rican’s Americans I can’t stop you 😁
@@lilac4696 you're right, you guys are "American" by law, but you don't have all the rights of one. I don't think PR will ever be a state though. I plan on visiting there to see how it is, might move there.
The biggest deal with PR is crypto… specifically Bitcoin. So for example I mine Bitcoin using ASIC miners. right now Bitcoin is with 28K… if I invest $500,000 and it goes up to 60K or even 100K. And I don’t have to pay capital gains I’ve just made buku bucks.
Im glad that you like living in PR, i was born and raise over there i woudnt live cuz of the living is too expesive and the gross income is brealy over the minimun wage. I do apologize for the rude comments of some puertorrican, we are not like but like every place always hating. Love channel keep doing what you do 👍
Ese es el plan de Ricky Rossello y Pierluisi...Puerto Rico sin puertorriqueños! Hay q estar vigilante q estamos perdiendo nuesos partimonio poco a poco.
Excellent job in illustrating the tax savings examples with the Act 20 program.
Thank you for this video. My business partner and I are thinking about making this move and this is the best video I've seen of people in our situation.
Glad to help, good luck!
Very well done and explained. Thank you

I’m glad you’re letting us know about life in PR.
The only way the people of Puerto Rico
will approve and accept rich people in the island is that they invest on the local economy and make more job opportunities for the locals improving their quality of life.
Whaaaaat🤥
So the part that gets taxed at 4%, I can keep or it has to stay in the business?
I moved a company to PR and they made money , paid five percent of overall taxes I went thru it amigo is great
Great to know it worked out for you!
Love this breakdown with the table 🙌
The fact he said a virtual mailbox is 150 a month when I pay 150 a year he can’t be trusted
He said $50 a month for starters and really that is the one thing you are hinging you're decision on?
Max- funny and informative video. Any recommendations for good accountants you can consult on-shore and a good Act 60 lawyer as well.
15% tax still pretty good compare to 35% tax for short term gains in the main land
Good morning Max! Thanks for your video! Have a blessed and wonderful day! Blessings to you and your business! 😍🤗💖🤩💯

Gonna have to rewatch and take notes and research , thanks for sharing.
After my 183 days are up and I fly back to the states to my "vacation" home am I allowed to conduct business while I'm back? I have a remote real estate flipping business so I can operate it from anywhere but I'm concerned my income will be forced to come to a standstill when I'm not in Puerto Rico.
The key here is sourced income. Your real estate income made in the mainland is taxed in the mainland. You didn’t source it locally in PR.
Can you do this and other places like the US Virgin Islands?
The us virgin islands..only pay federal taxes...they have a different tax code...and this is a local benefit from the Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 tax code ( you don't pay federal taxes in Puerto Rico )... you my have to make some homework..if you're looking for some especial tax benefits

Definitely moving to PR im a day trader and need these cap gain tax savings 15% is alot in my book
Go for it, Armando! PR is a beautiful place
Bienvenido!🇵🇷
What if i buy and sell o decentralized exchanges?
When you are calculating expenses you have if you move to PR,, to get into these programs,,,you ADD Social Security,, like if you don't have to pay SS when you live in the USA,,,
Will you change your blue XLR cable to a black one please. Thank you.
Excellent info. Thanks Max!
Would network marketers benefit?
He trusted the Media 😂
Similar to US Virgin Islands St Thomas
is the capital gains exclusion work only for stock capital gains? what about real estate capital gains?
Act 132 - Real Property Market Stimulus Act: taxsummaries.pwc.com/puerto-rico/individual/other-tax-credits-and-incentives
I would like to retire in Puerto Rico because the people and the food are amazing.
I agree! Puerto Rico is a paradise 🌴
He's talking about a business. If you're a regular worker you're good.
If I move and in the year sell a large profit long term investment, will i not have to pay long term capital gains tax?
I am curious. How does the taxes over there work if you are only into crypto and no business? Defi specifically?

Thanks, this is very informative!!
Also get a CPA to hook it up if not is a mess thru the goverment
Good morning 😍
Can you do Act 22 and move there six months prior before cashing out anything?
Great question! It's best to consult a tax expert for specific advice on this, but I believe you'd need to meet the residency requirements first 👍
does my family actually need to move too??
Your direct family should in order to avoid issues later
Moving down in June. See you around.
That's fantastic, welcome to the island! 🌴😎
Does the decree expire after 15 years or December 31, 2035?
Good morning
What if you are trading stocks, especially for short term capital gains? Puerto Rico would be a good place to trade from?

CPA Torres is good for Act 60 stuff however I'm not sure the familiarity with crypto
Such a shame, about everybody and everything on that island.
bro- what are you talking about- i live here, im act 60- its a 10k donation and NOTHING to pay more. Nothing. zip. like you said. i sit on the beach and trade crypto and pay NOTHING
You pay nothing? 😳

Need your urgent idea about PLTR stock?
Would love to know how this affected owning commercial real estate in the states, and with section 22 how it works!
Please don’t move to Puerto Rico we pay 11% tax in order to live here
People who move there are not in your same financial situation. Totally different.
