Why Paraguay’s 10% Tax and Dollar-Friendly Banks Are Attracting Global Startups

In Latin America, simplicity is rare—but Paraguay delivers.

With a flat 10% corporate tax, low-cost operations, and a business culture that embraces the U.S. dollar, Paraguay is quietly becoming a go-to destination for international founders setting up holding companies, e-commerce bases, or service hubs.

As major LATAM markets tighten regulation and raise taxes, Paraguay stands out for its stable macroeconomics, friendly banking, and streamlined company formation—particularly for those registering an Empresa por Acciones Simplificada (EAS).

Here’s why more global entrepreneurs are eyeing Paraguay in 2025—and how Easyco helps founders optimize taxes, open bank accounts, and manage operations in dollars.

Why Paraguay Is Different (In All the Right Ways)

Flat 10% Corporate Tax = Simplicity

Paraguay has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in Latin America:

• 10% on net taxable income
• 10% VAT
• 10% personal dividend tax on distributed profits

There are no convoluted tiered tax systems, wealth taxes, or surprise surcharges. The rules are clear, predictable, and founder-friendly.

This makes Paraguay especially attractive for:

• Holding companies
• Profit-optimizing consultancies or agencies
• E-commerce operations with regional clients

Banking in Paraguay: Dollar-Minded, Stable, Accessible

While neighboring countries restrict USD use or impose foreign exchange controls, Paraguay operates with a dual-currency mindset.

Most business bank accounts are available in both PYG (guaraníes) and USD. Banks such as UENO, Sudameris, and Interfisa allow foreign-owned companies to:

• Open USD-denominated business accounts
• Move funds via SWIFT transfers
• Handle local and cross-border payments with reduced red tape

Easyco supports founders throughout the entire process, from company formation to bank onboarding and ongoing foreign exchange management.
