Until Puerto Rico is a state, I believe they shouldn't have to pay taxes. No taxation without representation.
They are exempt from federal income tax.
While a good start, they do still pay other kinds of federal taxes (without representation), such as payroll taxes
And paid $4 billion in federal taxes in 2021 https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/puerto-rico-us-territory-crisis#chapter-title-0-4
Are they getting anything for the taxes?
Yeah, they got 25 billion for it.
Exactly
this is also why the license plates in DC have the slogan “taxation without representation”
