The document, shared by the Puerto Rico Department of Economic and Commercial Development, contains the conditions that blockchain-based companies must meet to benefit from tax exemptions through the Puerto Rico exemptions law, also known as Law 60.
DDEC Secretary Manuel Cidre said that with this move, they aim to make Puerto Rico among the most sought-after destinations for blockchain companies.
The shared document also includes other important definitions for national companies trying to export their blockchain-related services.
