U.S. Treasury Approves Capital Tax Break Zones in U.S. Virgin Islands

This April, the United States Treasury announced it approved 14 different neighborhoods on St. Croix and St. Thomas as being Qualified Opportunity Zones, meaning they are eligible for federal tax breaks under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump in December.
In a statement, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin said the Trump administration “will continue working with states and the private sector to encourage investment and development in opportunity zones and other economically disadvantaged areas and boost economic growth and job creation.”
