## Operating structures in Paraguay
- Own company and operation: For businesses planning a local presence: hire, invoice and operate through their own structure. Best for continuity and operational control.
- Maquila program: For qualifying industrial or service projects aimed at export and approved under the program. Best for export production under a specific regime.
- Outsourced, phased launch: Validate a market or start through local capacity and partners before expanding owned assets. Best for speed, learning and lower initial investment.

## Key facts (subject to eligibility and current legislation)
- 10% — IRE general rate: Corporate income tax on net taxable income, subject to the applicable regime.
- 1% — Maquila single tax: Single Maquila Tax on the statutory taxable base of approved export programs — not automatic for every business.
- EAS — Simplified incorporation: Digital legal form; foreign participants must meet identification and representation rules.
- MERCOSUR — Regional integration: Origin and tariff treatment depend on product, process and trade documents.
- A simple tax structure: Since the 2019 reform (Law 6380), companies pay IRE at 10% on net income, VAT has a general rate of 10%, and dividends are taxed separately through IDU. Fewer taxes and fewer forms mean lower compliance cost — but each obligation still has to be filed correctly.
- Energy and operating costs: Paraguay generates far more electricity than it consumes, mainly from the Itaipu and Yacyretá hydro plants. Industrial power, land and labour costs are competitive in the region, which matters for energy-intensive and labour-intensive production.
- Location inside MERCOSUR: Borders with Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia, and river access to the Atlantic via the Paraná–Paraguay waterway. Goods that meet MERCOSUR origin rules can reach Brazil with preferential tariff treatment.
- Rules that welcome foreign capital: Law 117/91 gives foreign and domestic investors equal treatment, and profits can be remitted abroad, subject to applicable taxes and regulatory requirements. Foreign investors can generally own 100% of a Paraguayan company, subject to the chosen legal form and any sector-specific requirements.

3. Implementation plan: Stages, responsibilities, dependencies, documents and assumptions.
4. Local coordination: Execution with licensed professionals, public bodies and partners.
