Paraguay's tax system is internationally recognized for its simplicity and low tax burden. For foreign investors, this framework represents a concrete opportunity for wealth optimization.
Territoriality principle
Paraguay only taxes income generated within Paraguayan territory. Foreign-source income—dividends, interest, rent, or capital gains obtained abroad—is not subject to taxes in Paraguay.
Main taxes
8% on labor income, 10% on capital income, with a non-taxable minimum.
10% on net business income. Foreign companies only pay on Paraguayan-source income.
10% general rate, 5% reduced rate for basic goods and real estate.
Paraguay does not apply inheritance, gift, or personal wealth taxes.
Tax treaties
Paraguay has treaties with Chile and Uruguay, and is negotiating with other countries.
Paraguay's territorial system, low rates, and lack of wealth taxes make it one of the most investor-friendly jurisdictions in the region.
