0% tax on your foreign-source income, thanks to a territorial framework that has existed for more than 30 years. English-speaking support that handles everything, from the first document to your card.
Paraguay applies what's called territorial taxation: only income generated on its soil is taxed. Your foreign-source income (salaries, dividends, online income, capital gains realized outside the country) simply doesn't fall within the Paraguayan taxable base.
This isn't a loophole or a scheme: it's how the Paraguayan tax code has normally worked for more than thirty years. Our role is to properly register you within it, with a solid, documented file.
Three building blocks, one simple logic: what's earned outside Paraguay isn't taxed in Paraguay.
Salaries, dividends, online business, capital gains realized outside the country.
Cédula, RUC, and tax residency certificate established in your name.
This income doesn't fall within the Paraguayan taxable base. Entirely legally.
Income generated in Paraguay, on the other hand, remains taxed at 10% (one of the lowest rates in the world). It's the only part that falls within the local taxable base.
Becoming a Paraguayan tax resident is not enough on its own. The 0% applies to your foreign-source income, provided it no longer passes through an entity still taxable in its home country. In other words: your tax status has to be planned together with the structure that receives the money.
The principle is simple. You invoice your activity (clients, services, online income) through a legal entity set up in a jurisdiction that also doesn't tax this income. This entity then pays you what you decide, and it's you, as a Paraguayan tax resident, who receive it, with no local tax on what comes from abroad.
About 9 out of 10 people we support choose an LLC. It's probably one of the simplest, least costly entities to set up: light management, pass-through taxation, and when structured properly, it generates no corporate-level tax. We guide you toward the structure suited to your situation and set it up with you.
You invoice clients abroad and want a light, legal tax framework.
Dividends, capital gains, foreign-source income: you're looking to optimize cleanly.
You work from anywhere and want a stable base, with minimal presence required.
A clear framework for your digital assets, in a country that respects financial privacy.
Your foreign-source pensions, a low cost of living, a pleasant climate.

You don't chase an administration in Spanish. We handle everything, you sign off.

Accounting, renewals, required presence: we stay your English-speaking point of contact.
Yes. This is legal tax optimization through legal structures, not evasion. The territoriality principle is written into Paraguayan law and was confirmed by the 2019 tax reform (law 6380). Paraguay officially recognizes your residency, and a well-built, documented file is your best protection, including toward your home administration. That's precisely what we build with you.
We place you precisely within this framework rather than selling you a "0%" slogan. That's the difference between a promise and a file that holds up.
Good to know: the tax residency certificate isn't automatic. The DNIT expects real filings (not "zero" ones) over several months. So we frame your local activity in advance, so the certificate is actually deliverable, rather than promising it to you blindly.
Count on about 3 months for the resident card, then 1 month for the Cédula, and about 1 more month to open the RUC. So around 5 months total. These timelines vary depending on your file and the pace of the administrations.
Yes, a single stay of about 5 days is planned, for the steps that require your presence. Everything else is handled remotely.
Once the Cédula is available and your eligibility confirmed, our team prepares and follows up on opening the RUC remotely, with no new trip needed.
Your apostilled birth certificate and criminal record, a valid passport, and a passport photo on a white background. If you're married or divorced, add the apostilled marriage or divorce certificate. Note: the apostille must be affixed to the original, and the name must be strictly identical across all documents. This is one of the most common causes of refusal, and a point we systematically check before you leave.
Four elements: your cédula, an active RUC, a tax compliance certificate attesting to several months of filings with real amounts (not zero), and the constancia de movimiento migratorio issued by Migraciones. A file filed with zero filings is very often refused, which is why we frame your local activity in advance.
The tax residency certificate can be issued regardless of the physical time spent on the ground, as long as you have real local economic activity and up-to-date filings. The criterion isn't the number of days, but the real substance of your residency: that's what makes it solid against your home administration.
A first conversation, free and with no obligation. We assess your situation and tell you what's possible, concretely.
