LLCs can be organized by any person or entity by filing organizational elements (also known as a certificate of incorporation) with the Department of State of Puerto Rico. LLCs offer their owners the same limited liability protection that corporations are granted by law, and the flexibility to manage their internal affairs as a partnership, corporation, or a combination of both pursuant to an LLC agreement (also known as an operating agreement) that typically governs the business. LLCs are taxed as corporations by default and are subject to tax at both the business unit and shareholder level. However, an LLC may elect to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes by receiving interim treatment by making an election on Form SC 6045 of the LLC`s Puerto Rico income tax return for the taxation year in which the election is to take effect on or before the due date, including extensions. The Secretary of the Treasury of Puerto Rico may give further guidance on the form and modalities of such an election. Although a Puerto Rico LLC is automatically treated as a corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, it may choose to be treated as a partnership or an unaccounted entity. This election is made by filing Form 8832 with the IRS.
