Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló, closed 2018 with a message saying his administration is promoting economic development by reducing taxes.
This tax limits the availability of basic necessities and supplies in general in the stores, and it harms the population's ability to face any crisis.
Puerto Rico’s School of Certified Public Accountants expressed its support of House Bill 1544, which proposes a new Tax Code for the island, saying it introduces “a number of significant changes in the rate of income tax for both individuals and corporations.”
