On Thursday, News is my Business obtained a copy of the notice the Internal Revenue Service sent to the government of Puerto Rico with regards to the federal credit granted for the 4 percent excise tax that went into effect in January.
Local manufacturing companies subjected to the 4 percent excise tax imposed in January through Law 154 may want to breathe a sigh of relief, as the Internal Revenue Service has confirmed that they will be able to take a credit on their federal income tax returns for the amount paid in Puerto Rico.
Local women entrepreneurs were the focus of the government’s attention Monday, when Gov. Luis Fortuño met with a small group to “acknowledge the vital role they play in boosting our economy.”
