Fiscal residency in Paraguay: the 120 days, DNIT certificate and how to apply

Equipo ViaParaguay Equipo ViaParaguay · · 5 min read

Fiscal residency in Paraguay determines which country has the right to tax your global income. In Paraguay, it is independent from immigration residency and can be obtained in two ways:

Criteria

  • 120 days of physical presence in Paraguay during the calendar year
  • Having your center of life established in Paraguay (primary home, family, business)

The DNIT Certificate

The DNIT issues the Fiscal Residency Certificate valid for 1 year, renewable. The process takes approximately 10 business days.

Territorial principle

As a Paraguayan fiscal resident, your foreign income is not taxed in Paraguay. IRP only applies to Paraguayan-source income.
