Taxes in Paraguay
Asunción
How to get residency
Temporary then permanent residency, or via SUACE by setting up a company with low capital.
Days you must stay
No strict minimum to keep residency; for the tax certificate you should live there most of the year.
Small print
Only income earned in Paraguay is taxed, at 10%. Few tax treaties and far from Europe.
If you move here
To stop paying tax at home you must live in Paraguay most of the year, have your centre of life there and, if you own a company, run it from there. A tax residency certificate from Paraguay is your best proof.
Also check whether an exit tax applies to you and read the tax treaty, if there is one.
