ECONOMY
in South America (2023)
Paraguay has become one of South America's rising economic stars over the last 20 years due in part to its abundant natural resources, robust global exports and low taxes
This small, land-locked nation with a population of 7.2 million spread across an area the size of the state of California in the USA has become an economic powerhouse -- ranking in the top 80 of all global exporters and the top 10 worldwide in key agricultural production

FOREIGN INCOME TAX
Paraguay utilizes a territorial tax system -- put simply, income generated abroad is not taxed in Paraguay
Unlike many countries around the world who levy taxes on foreign earned income -- often leading to double-taxation if the income is also taxed in the country of origin -- Paraguay is on a short list of countries around the world that enjoy this advantageous tax system
Personal income earned within Paraguay is generally taxed at a flat rate of 10% -- with deductions that further reduce the effective tax rate
