Obtain your tax residency in Paraguay
Why choose tax residency in Paraguay?
The Paraguay is one of the few countries offering a fast, flexible, and particularly advantageous tax residency to optimize your tax situation. Here are the main benefits:
Territorial taxation :
Income generated abroad is not taxed. This allows you to achieve a tax rate of 0% on your foreign income.
Attractive local taxes :
If you conduct business in Paraguay, the corporate tax on profits is limited to 10%, and any compensation from your business is also taxed at only 10%.
No obligation of tax residency :
Unlike other countries, Paraguay does not require you to reside on-site for several months a year. An occasional visit is enough to maintain your status.
Fast and accessible process :
In just five months, you can become a Paraguayan tax resident at a significantly lower cost than in many other countries.
