Paraguay Standard Tax Residency (RUC)

In Paraguay, the Registro Único de Contribuyentes (RUC) serves as the unique tax identification number for individuals engaged in economic activities within the country. Obtaining an RUC is essential for compliance with Paraguayan tax laws and offers several advantages:

Key Benefits of Obtaining an RUC:

• Tax Residency Certification: An active RUC enables individuals to acquire a tax residency certificate, confirming fiscal domicile in Paraguay. This is particularly beneficial for those seeking to benefit from Paraguay’s favorable tax regime, which includes no taxation on foreign income and a low 10% tax rate on locally sourced income.
• Tax Compliance Certificate: With an RUC, taxpayers can obtain a tax compliance certificate, verifying that all tax obligations in Paraguay have been met. This certificate is often required for various legal and financial transactions, providing assurance to partners and authorities of one’s good standing.
• Facilitated Business Operations: Possessing an RUC is mandatory for issuing invoices, opening corporate bank accounts, and conducting business legally in Paraguay.
