Selling a principal residence in Puerto Rico?
Act 180-2025 may provide a full exclusion of the gain from the sale of a principal residence for a qualifying homeowner, or for the heirs of a qualifying decedent, provided all legal requirements are met.
Each situation should be evaluated individually to determine eligibility under the law.
With more than 30 years of tax experience and over 20 years in real estate, I can guide you through the application of Act 180-2025 and help determine whether you or the heirs may qualify for this full exclusion before the closing of the sale.

Are You a Non-Resident Seller of Puerto Rico Real Estate?
If you are not a resident of Puerto Rico and are selling real estate located in Puerto Rico, you may be subject to the withholding requirements established under Section 1062.08(g) of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code of 2011, as amended.
In most cases, the buyer is required to act as the withholding agent and withhold the applicable tax at closing, unless an authorized exception or special procedure approved by the Puerto Rico Department of Treasury applies.
With more than 30 years of tax experience and over 20 years in the real estate industry, I provide specialized guidance to help you comply with Puerto Rico tax requirements, avoid unnecessary delays, and facilitate a successful closing.
Do you have questions about Puerto Rico's non-resident seller withholding requirements?
Contact me for an initial consultation. I will be pleased to evaluate your situation and explain the options available under Puerto Rico law.
