Puerto Rico

Caribbean

Puerto Rico is a US territory, so a US citizen can work remotely there with zero immigration paperwork, and Act 60's headline 0 percent capital gains rate runs through ordinary US federal tax law rather than around it. No US tax treaty ever extends to Puerto Rico, so anyone relying on treaty relief elsewhere gets none here.
