How can a foreigner open a company in Paraguay?

The fastest way to open a company in Paraguay is the EAS (Simplified Joint-Stock Company), created by Law 6480/2020: it can be formed by one or more people, with no minimum capital and with liability limited to their contributions, and it is registered through SUACE (the government’s one-stop business portal). If the legal representative is a foreigner, they need a cédula (Paraguayan ID card). Read the full answer →

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 →
