The Internal Revenue Code of Puerto Rico (Spanish: Código de Rentas Internas de Puerto Rico) is the main body of domestic statutory tax law of Puerto Rico organized topically, including laws covering income taxes, payroll taxes, gift taxes, estate taxes, and statutory excise taxes.
The tax is better known as the Impuesto sobre Ventas y Uso (Sales and Use Tax) or by its Spanish acronym, IVU.
The law amended Article B of the Code and created sub-article BB.
On July 29, 2007, the government approved Law Number 80, making the tax mandatory for all municipalities of the commonwealth.
In 2015, the Sales Tax and Use rate went from 7% to 11.5%.
