Why this matters: The elimination of the inventory tax could impact local businesses and the economy in Puerto Rico, affecting the island’s commercial sector.

José 'Pepe' González, president of the Asociación de Comercio al Detal (Acdet), stated that the organization will continue to push for the elimination of the inventory tax in Puerto Rico during the new legislative session. Additionally, Acdet will advocate for the approval of a tax reform and a new permit law.

Despite previous unsuccessful attempts to eliminate the inventory tax, González assured that the organization will persist in its efforts.
