What are the main Act 60 cost categories?

The main categories are government filing costs, annual decree obligations, required charitable donation, and professional help. Verify current fee schedules before relying on any amount.

Government-side costs are pass-through obligations and are separate from provider fees. Providers should not imply they can discount government obligations.

Act 60 cost breakdown

How much does Puerto Rico Act 60 cost?

Q: Is this tax or legal advice?

No. This is general information only. A licensed professional must review your facts.

Act 60 cost has two different parts: government-mandated obligations that everyone should verify, and professional help that varies by complexity.

Short answer: Plan for one-time application costs, annual decree obligations, the required charitable donation, and professional review or filing support. The bigger risk is not just the fee total - it is paying for a file that is not organized well enough for licensed professional review.

Professional help

Productized application services may publish fixed pricing for straightforward cases. Traditional law firms and CPA-led files often quote based on facts, especially when there are large gains, entities, crypto records, pre-move appreciation, or sourcing questions.

Act 60 Sprint's lane is file-readiness and orchestration: evidence index, missing-doc map, basis-evidence map where relevant, advisor handoff, and deadline management. The licensed professional owns regulated review, signature, and filing.

The cost most people miss

A weak file can become the expensive part. If residency evidence, sourcing facts, pre/post-move gain records, or crypto basis documents are scattered, the review takes longer and the risk is harder to evaluate.

The goal is not the cheapest signature. The goal is a clean, dated, review-ready package that a licensed Puerto Rico professional can assess before a filing position is taken.

Is it worth it?

The math only starts to make sense when the current-law 0% vs 4% delta is materially larger than the all-in cost, effort, relocation burden, and compliance obligations. The calculator gives an illustrative starting point, not a tax projection.
