...In addition, Act No. 7 imposes a special income tax of 5% on the net income of International Banking Entities ( "IBE'), among a group of exempt taxpayers. Both, the 5% surtax and the special income taxtax rate of 5% are applicable for taxable years commencing after December 31, 2008 and prior January 1, 2012. Act No. 7 also revamps the alternative basic tax provisions of the Code. Under the revised version, our dividends, generally subject to a maximum 10% preferential rate tax, may now be subject to an effective tax of 20% in the case of individuals with income (computed with certain addition of exempt income and income subject to preferential rates) in excess of $175,000, or 15% if such income is over $125,000. Act No. 7 provides for several additional changes to the Code, which the Company believes will have an inconsequential financial impact or are not applicable since these are related to individual taxpayers."
