A fortalecer más comunidades resilientes


Los pasados tres años Puerto Rico ha pasado por retos sin precedentes: huracanes, sequías, crisis políticas, terremotos y la actual pandemia de COVID-19.

A Closer Look at Consumer Sentiment

On Friday, the University of Michigan released its preliminary reading of consumer sentiment for November. It showed a concerning drop, but this was expected because the economy has been mirroring the virus since March. With the virus surging again, it made sense sentiment would fall.

Business Tax Increases Loom 

As taxpayers and policymakers consider the prospects for federal tax policy in 2021, it is important to also consider how existing tax law may change in 2021 and over the next five years. While there are many tax changes built into the tax code over the coming years for individuals and businesses, the recent claim that lower- and middle-income Americans may see a "stealth tax increase" in 2021 due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) is untrue.
