Frequently asked questions

Does Paraguay tax foreign income?

Paraguay taxes on a territorial basis: the IRP (personal income tax) applies to Paraguayan-source income, under Article 48 of Law 6380/2019. That does not mean your foreign income goes untaxed in every case: it depends on the type of income, your activity in Paraguay and what your home country requires. On Paraguayan-source income, individuals pay IRP of 8% to 10% on personal services above PYG 80 million (Gs. 80 million) a year, and 8% on capital income. Read the full answer →

How do you get a Paraguay tax residency certificate?

The Paraguay tax residency certificate is issued by the DNIT (tax authority). You apply with your cédula (Paraguayan ID card): if you are registered for a RUC (taxpayer number), you must also be up to date with your tax obligations; if not, you submit your official record of entries and exits for the period. It is issued in 10 business days and is valid for one year. Read the full answer →

Can you keep Paraguay residency without living in Paraguay?

Paraguay residency does not require you to be in the country all year, but long absences can cause it to lapse, and the limits depend on the type of residency. Also, immigration residency is not the same as tax residency, which is proven with your official record of entries into and exits from Paraguay. Read the full answer →
