On March 11, 2016, the Puerto Rico Department of the Treasury (“PR Treasury”) issued Administrative Determination No. 16-05 (“AD 16-05”), eliminating the requirement to file PR Treasury Form 480.70(OE) for retirement plans whose tax year begins after December 31, 2014. AD 16-05 specifically provides that, for plan years beginning on January 1, 2015, PR Treasury Form 480.70(OE) will not have to be submitted to comply with the PR Code filing requirements. Instead, AD 16-05 provides: (i) a new way to comply with this reporting requirement; and (ii) establishes two different deadlines to file with the PR Treasury, depending on whether or not the sponsor or participating employer has to file a Puerto Rico income tax return.
