This law pretends to retain in Puerto Rico and attract to Puerto Rico highly competitive researchers to advance the scientific and economic development of the island. Researchers or scientists who receive a competitive research grant of the type RO1 or similar, may have their salary and compensation exempt from taxes. It reads, in part: ley-101-2008
“Para añadir el inciso 58 a la Sección 1022(b) del “Código de Rentas Internas de 1994”, Ley Núm. 120 de 31 de octubre de 1994, según enmendada, para eximir de tributación los salarios devengados y compensación recibida por investigadores y científicos elegibles que realicen investigaciones y estudios en Puerto Rico en una institución de educación superior bajo los parámetros de una propuesta de investigación científica a los Institutos Nacionales de la Salud (NIH) u otra organización del gobierno federal análoga o del Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico.”
More information and details on the application of the law will be available in the near future. We’ll keep you posted.
