14 May 2019 Puerto Rico enacts tax incentives law for investments in opportunity zones On May 14, 2019, Puerto Rico's Governor Ricardo Roselló Nevares enacted the Law for the Development of Opportunity Zones and the Economic Development of Puerto Rico of 2019 (the Law), which establishes various tax incentives in Puerto Rico for investments in qualified opportunity zones within Puerto Rico. The tax incentives include preferential tax rates, transferable tax credits, and partial exemptions of property and municipal taxes.
