The Oversight Board (JSF) is pressing the Treasury Department over delays in delivering and publishing fiscal information, including monthly revenue reports. In a letter dated November 2 addressed to Treasury Secretary Ángel Pantoja Rodríguez, the Board noted Treasury had still not delivered the official revenue results for August, September and October, and requested an update on pending requirements by November 9.
The Board said it also has yet to receive information requested in a July 23 letter, including corporate income tax data, information on withholdings from non-residents, and Sales and Use Tax (IVU) data. The Board called that information indispensable for analyzing revenues, estimating the fiscal impact of legislative proposals and understanding Puerto Rico’s current economic conditions, and noted Treasury has not established a communication channel for pending questions and recurring technical clarifications.
It said it needs timely access to preliminary figures to monitor fiscal performance, identify trends and prepare reliable projections, and cannot properly analyze differences between actual and projected revenues without complete data. The letter flags unresolved questions about fiscal year 2026 revenues, including last-quarter collections that considerably exceeded planned amounts. With budget talks for the next fiscal year underway, the Board warned the missing information creates unnecessary obstacles to a transparent, informed process and demanded collaboration from Treasury in five areas to improve timeliness, uniformity and transparency of revenue data.
