A bill by the Puerto Rico House of Representatives would prohibit electronic payment processing fees from being calculated on the portion of a transaction corresponding to federal, state or municipal taxes within Puerto Rico’s territorial jurisdiction. The bill, filed by Speaker Carlos “Johnny” Méndez Nuñez, stipulates that no financial institution, payment processor, credit or debit card network, or any other entity that facilitates, authorizes, or processes, or settles credit and/or debit card transactions on any amount corresponding to tax.
