Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.

Farmer certification and stable benefits

To claim Chapter 8 farm tax benefits, you must hold a bona fide farmer certification. You qualify when at least 51% of your gross income, or 51% of your production value or investment, comes from a qualifying agroindustrial business you run, own, or lease. The Secretary of Agriculture issues the certification and reissues it every 4 years. Benefits from a certification take effect on January 1 of the taxable year shown. If you get a Decree, you keep the benefit levels in place for the Decree term, as long as you follow the Code and your Decree.

Property tax break for farm property

If you are a bona fide farmer with a Decree or certification, property you own, lease, or hold in usufruct is exempt from municipal property tax when used at least 35% for covered activities. The exemption covers land, buildings, equipment, accessories, and vehicles. You must be engaged in the covered agroindustrial activities.

Certified farmers avoid sales, excise, license taxes

If you hold a Decree or a bona fide farmer certification and do the covered activities, you do not pay Puerto Rico sales and use tax (IVU) or excise (arbitrios) on items used in those activities. You also do not pay municipal business license (patente) tax on those covered activities. You must meet the documentation and compliance rules in Section 2083.05.

Taxes on payouts from exempt farm businesses

If you are a shareholder or partner of an exempt agricultural business with a farmer certification or Decree, you must pay Puerto Rico income tax on dividends or benefits you receive from its net income. Report these distributions on your tax return.
