![]() ![]() An Urologist gave me an appointment for September 2023. A gastroenterologist gave me appointment for April 2023. I scheduled an appointment with two specialists back in October. New patient and need a specialist? Good luck. You have a medical condition? Wait 1 month to get a primary care physician appointment. You have medical insurances dictating whether or not you need a medication. Our healthcare system sucks, our medical doctors are being constantly screwed by the insurances and have left the island. Most revolves around pork/chicken/beef either stewed, fried, deep fried or breaded. Puerto Ricans don’t have a healthy/diverse diet. Mostly everything is imported and processed. Many locals know English but you still must know Spanish in order to effectively communicate with most of the population. That said, cars are expensive in PR compared to the states. ![]() No matter the time of the day there’s traffic wherever you commute. It’s not bad as LA traffic but I can say it’s up there. You need a car for everything, there’s uber/uber eats and door dash on the metro area, but everywhere else on the island you need a car to move. We have constant power outages, we have really bad roads, we have expensive tolls, our DMV (and everything government related) is a total nightmare with inefficient/old systems and infrastructure that can’t even give online appointments. But living here is not a constant vacation. To do this, I suggest finding an accountant or a lawyer that specializes in labor and work things with your company to see if their willing to go through the process. Per law in PR paystubs cannot exceed 15 days in between pay periods. Other thing to consider is pay, many companies in US pay on a monthly basis. Sales tax is 11.5% which is the highest I believe in all of US, you must budget accordingly. Most loca Physicians do not take US insurance (say for example Blue Cross). US insurances will only cover an ER visit at most. In Puerto Rico you have fixed deductibles on top of a monthly cost. Usually you will have an out of pocket deductible up to X amount before the insurance coverage starts. Other thing is medical insurance, most of the insurance policies in the US do not work in PR. That way you will pay taxes and have deductions according to law. To do this the right way you have two choices: Either your company must be willing to either create a hub or register as a corporation in PR so you can be W2 employee or hire you as a contractor 1099 employee (40% of your salary will be accounted for deductions). The gringo will pay more in tax than the native, and more in sales tax. Yes, there are some pockets that are now out of reach for the natives, but it's only about 5% of the island and otherwise there are plenty of houses due to the island losing population. However, the island is losing population every year, and so there is not that much competition for housing. The only negative is the gringo can then outbid the native for the nicer home. So the gringo brings his own job and pays more tax than the native. No one is going to pay donations and fees of $23K to avoid $7K in taxes, so the gringo will pay tax on the entire $60K. The tax on the extra $20K (difference of $60K and $40K) would run about $7K. There are very expensive ways to avoid paying PR tax on the extra $20K, which involves payments of about $23K to the island, mostly in the form of donations to children's charities and high fees to local banks, who use those fees to subsidize the fees for the natives. If a gringo comes here and earns $60K, they will pay PR tax on $40K, exactly like the native. If a native would earn $40K, that native would pay PR tax on that $40K and no US federal tax.
